EVANGELISM 101: Lesson 1 - Biblical Foundations of EvangelismFrancis Hernandez
For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” (Romans 10:13-15)
"It (Evangelism) comes from the same Greek word for gospel (euangelion) and means, literally, “gospeling.” When we evangelize we are “gospeling” — we are spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ." - https://www.ligonier.org/learn/devotionals/what-evangelism/
Every Christian is called to do the divine task of evangelism. Evangelism is a task not just for the select churches, or for the evangelists or pastors. This is Lesson 1 of EVANGELISM 101 Series.

What Is Real, True, Genuine Repentance?Don McClain
“What Is Real, True, Genuine Repentance?" - [According To God’s Word — Matthew 21:28-32] - Repentance is a command of God / Repentance is something God wills that every one of us would do - Sadly, very few are willing to actually, truly REPENT! Repentance has often been referenced as “the hardest command!” Why? What is so difficult about repentance? In this study we examine what repentance IS NOT - then five characteristics of genuine repentance.
Repentance In Christian Conversion
Repentance is an act by which we realise we have offended an Holy and righteous God; this act is characterised by a deliberate turn away from the sinful act(s) in question, begging for God’s forgiveness and turning to him and his ways. Repentance is also that window that opens for us to see what we are called to; this being that, we are to represent God’s living and working in human life; how the effects of sin’s offensive attack on God defeats this purpose and how it can be remedied by means of the lordship of God’s Spirit over man’s spirit, soul and body.
1 Cor. 1:9-10 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Conviction Empowerment To See The Spirituality of God’s Law. sab21st
Conviction – Empowerment To See The Spirituality of God’s Law.
.Just as insufficient power from a dead battery to the starter motor of a vehicle renders it unable to start itself; as no food can in any way provide energy for a dead man; although it is the function food to give energy;
Spiritual truth cannot provide Spiritual liveliness to a mind that is dead to righteousness; as such the mind is unable to capture the essence of the truth and similarly, Spiritual truth cannot make an unregenerate will to believe.
So that ‘Seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand; lest they should turn, and their sins be forgiven them.’”
And He said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? The sower sows the word. And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts. These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness; and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word’s sake, immediately they stumble. Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.” (Mark 4:12-19)
Guilt: an awareness of having done wrong or committed a crime, accompanied by feelings of shame and regret; the fact of having committed a crime or done wrong

Faith - Empowerment To Persuade The Mind That God’s Law And Power Is True An...sab21st
Faith - Empowerment To Persuade The Mind That God’s Law And Power Is True And Real.
In the series THE SACRIFICES OF GOD ARE A BROKEN SPIRIT: A BROKEN AND A CONTRITE HEART we have looked at Conviction - Empowerment To See The Spirituality of God’s Law. Where we saw that Just as insufficient power from a dead battery to the starter motor of a vehicle renders it unable to start itself; as no food can in any way provide energy for a dead man; although it is the function food to give energy;
Spiritual truth cannot provide Spiritual liveliness to a mind that is dead to righteousness; as such the mind is unable to capture the essence of the truth and similarly, Spiritual truth cannot make an unregenerate will to believe.
We will continue our look at:
Faith - Empowerment To Persuade The Mind That God’s Law And Power Is True And Real.
Repentance - Empowerment for a yielded will to turn away from sin to God.
The Eternal Value of A Sound Conscience
Confession - Its Power to Remove The Sting of Sin
Circumcision of The Regenerated Heart.
Dead To Sin - Empowerment to overcome indwelling sin
Alive To Christ, Jesus - Empowerment to live a righteous and Godly life.
The Consecration, Quickening (or Awakening), Faith and Repentance Needed For Revival
God’s Way of Restoration & The Cleansing That Leads To Joy.
Faith - Empowerment To Persuade The Mind That God’s Law And Power Is True And Real.
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. (Romans 9:16-18)
The Conversion Process which follows regeneration (at point of quickening) is Faith (Saving Faith) and Repentance working hand in hand in an indivisible process. Saving faith is trust in Jesus Christ as a living person for forgiveness of sins and for eternal life with God. It is faith that propels one to take the next step past simply having knowledge of Christ and believing in the facts presented.
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. (Romans 3:24-26)
Saving faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of one’s understanding of the fact that he/she is a sinner who is in the process of making the personal decision to trust in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and receive the salvation Jesus Christ earned for us on the cross. (this process being one you cannot physically see) and the conviction of the reality (perceiving as real what is not reveal

“The Kind of Preaching That Pleases God”Don McClain
(Successful Preachers in The Bible) — When it come to “preaching,” most measure success VERY differently from how God measures it! Most people are advocates of style over substance, smiles instead of rebuke, embelished emotional storys rather than scripture, compromise without the bold proclamation of truth.

“The Nature of Saving FAITH” (2)— (Romans 3:19-5:5) In Romans 4 Paul is contrasting two opposing SYSTEMS, “FAITH & WORKS.” The “works” system cannot save a sinner because it demands perfection - and no amount of work can undo the sinners sin. The “Faith” system on the other hand implements forgiveness through Jesus thus providing justification on the grounds of God’s grace. Abraham was justified by the system of faith, not by the system of perfect Law keeping. But what kind of FAITH does the system of faith require? What KIND of FAITH did Abraham Have? - 2/26/2017

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Nature of True Repentance -
3. Getting To Where We Need To Be . . .
Repentance (Thayer Definitions) - There are three Greek
words used in the New Testament to denote repentance.
(1.) μεταμέλλομαι – metamellomai - 1) it is a
care to one afterwards . . . (such as to
produce regret or even remorse on account
of sin & can include a change of action,
but not necessarily so). Used with
reference to the repentance of the son
(Mat 21:29), & Judas (Mat 27:3).
4. Getting To Where We Need To Be . . .
Repentance (Thayer Definitions) - There are three Greek
words used in the New Testament to denote repentance.
(2.) μετανοέω - metanoeō - 1) to change one’s
mind, . . . for better, heartily to amend with
abhorrence of one’s past sins - (Acts 2:38; 8:22)
(3.) μετάνοια – metanoia - 1) a change of mind,
as it appears to one who repents, of a purpose
he has formed or of something he has done
(2 Cor. 7:10)
5. Getting To Where We Need To Be . . .
Repentance Is Not Easy Because It
Requires Radical Change – (Psalm 51:1-17)
Its superscription ascribes the
occasion to David’s sin of
adultery with Bathsheba and
the murder of her husband
Uriah (2 Sam. 11)
Having been confronted with
his sin, David confessed it (2
Sam. 12:13a).
6. Getting To Where We Need To Be . . .
Repentance Is Not Easy Because It
Requires Radical Change – (Psalm 51:1-17)
After a believer sins, he must
obtain forgiveness if he is to enjoy
fellowship with God.
The message of this psalm is that
the vilest offender among God’s
people can receive forgiveness, the
resumption of fellowship with
God, if he comes with genuine
repentance.

8. Psalm 51:1-17 (NKJV)
1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David
when Nathan the prophet went to him, after
he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy
upon me, O God, According to Your
lovingkindness; According to the multitude
of Your tender mercies, Blot out my
transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from
my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. 3
For I acknowledge my transgressions, And
my sin is always before me.
9. Psalm 51:1-17 (NKJV)
4 Against You, You only, have I sinned, And
done this evil in Your sight-- That You may
be found just when You speak, And
blameless when You judge. 5 Behold, I was
brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my
mother conceived me. 6 Behold, You desire
truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden
part You will make me to know wisdom. 7
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
10. Psalm 51:1-17 (NKJV)
8 Make me hear joy and gladness, That
the bones You have broken may rejoice. 9
Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out
all my iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean
heart, O God, And renew a steadfast
spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me away
from Your presence, And do not take
Your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to
me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold
me by Your generous Spirit.
11. Psalm 51:1-17 (NKJV)
13 Then I will teach transgressors
Your ways, And sinners shall be
converted to You. 14 Deliver me from
the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The
God of my salvation, And my tongue
shall sing aloud of Your
righteousness. 15 O Lord, open my
lips, And my mouth shall show forth
Your praise.
12. Psalm 51:1-17 (NKJV)
16 For You do not desire
sacrifice, or else I would give it;

are a broken spirit, A broken and
a contrite heart-- These, O God,
You will not despise.

Remorse – (Psalm 51:3-6)
. . . my sin is always before me. [4]
Against You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil in Your sight-- That
You may be found just when You speak,
And blameless when You judge. [5]
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
And in sin my mother conceived me.
[6] Behold, You desire truth in the
inward parts, And in the hidden part
You will make me to know wisdom.

Remorse – (Psalm 51:3-6)
David was remorseful that he
had sinned against God – (3,4)
Using hyperbole, David
expresses the degree of his
shame, (5)
David is NOT attempting to
shift or minimize his guilt!!
“Total inherited depravity”
NOT taught in this verse!

The Pervasiveness of The False Doctrine
of Inherited Total Depravity
The Catholic church –
leading to the practice of
infant baptism and the
doctrine of the immaculate
conception of Christ .
Most Protestant
Denominations believe &
teach that every person is
born a sinner . . .

The Pervasiveness of The False Doctrine
of Inherited Total Depravity
Augsburg Confession of Faith (1530), “. . .
all men, born according to nature, are born
with sin, that is, without the fear of God,
without confidence towards God and with
concupiscence, and that this original
disease or flaw is truly a sin, bringing
condemnation and also eternal death to
those who are not reborn through baptism
and the Holy Spirit” (Article II).
24. Getting To Where We Need To Be . . .
The Pervasiveness of The False Doctrine
of Inherited Total Depravity
Westminster Confession: "They being
the root of all mankind, the guilt of this sin
was imputed, and the same death in sin and
corrupted nature conveyed to all their
posterity descending from them by
ordinary generation. From this original
corruption, whereby we are utterly
indisposed, disabled, and made wholly
inclined to all evil, do proceed all
actual transgressions."

The Pervasiveness of The False Doctrine

BKC - 51:5-6. David then
acknowledged that he was morally
impotent. He was born a sinner, that is,
at no time in his life was he without sin.

BKC - 51:5-6. David then
acknowledged that he was morally
impotent. He was born a sinner, that is,
at no time in his life was he without sin.
JFB - 5, 6. His guilt was aggravated by his
essential, native sinfulness, which is as
contrary to God's requisitions of inward
purity as are outward sins to those for
right conduct.
27. Getting To Where We Need To Be . . .
The Pervasiveness of The False Doctrine
of Inherited Total Depravity
Adam Clarke – “I believe
David to speak here of what is
commonly called original sin;
the propensity to evil which
every man brings into the
world with him, and which is
the fruitful source whence all
transgression proceeds.”
28. Getting To Where We Need To Be . . .
The Pervasiveness of The False Doctrine
of Inherited Total Depravity
Matthew Henry – “And the truly
penitent will ever trace back the
streams of actual sin to the fountain
of original depravity. He confesses
his original corruption. This is that
foolishness which is bound in the
heart of a child, that proneness to evil,
and that backwardness to good, . . .”
29. Getting To Where We Need To Be . . .
The Pervasiveness of The False Doctrine
of Inherited Total Depravity
Barnes - “The object of this important
verse is to express the deep sense which
David had of his depravity. That sense
was derived from the fact that this was
not a sudden thought, or a mere outward
act, or an offence committed under the
influence of strong temptation, but that
it was the result of an entire corruption
of his nature - . . .”
30. Getting To Where We Need To Be . . .
The Pervasiveness of The False Doctrine
of Inherited Total Depravity
“. . . of a deep depravity of heart,
running back to the very
commencement of his being. The idea
is, that he could not have committed
this offence unless he had been
thoroughly corrupt, and always corrupt.
The sin was as heinous and aggravated
“as if ” in his very conception and birth
there had been nothing but depravity.
31. Getting To Where We Need To Be . . .
The Pervasiveness of The False Doctrine
of Inherited Total Depravity
“. . . He looked at his, sin, . . . and he
inferred that the one demonstrated that in
the other there was no good thing, no
tendency to goodness, no germ of goodness,
but that there was evil, and only evil; . . . the
design is to express his deep sense of his own
depravity; a depravity so deep as to
demonstrate that it must have had its origin
in the very beginning of his existence. . . .
32. Getting To Where We Need To Be . . .
The Pervasiveness of The False Doctrine
of Inherited Total Depravity
“The idea is simply that he was “born” in
iniquity; or that he was a sinner when he
was born; or that his sin could be traced
back to his very birth . . . And in sin did
my mother conceive me - . . . This
language simply traces his sin back to the
time when he began to exist. The idea is,
“as soon as I began to exist I was a
sinner; . . .”
33. Getting To Where We Need To Be . . .
The Pervasiveness of The False Doctrine
of Inherited Total Depravity
(NIV) Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my
mother conceived me.
(GW) Indeed, I was born guilty. I was a sinner when my
mother conceived me.
(Holman Christian Standard Bible) Indeed, I was guilty when
I was born; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.
(Good News Bible) - I have been evil from the day I was
born; from the time I was conceived, I have been sinful.
(Contemporary English Version) - I have sinned and done
wrong since the day I was born.

48. 2 Corinthians 7:7–12 (NKJV)
7 and not only by his coming, but also
by the consolation with which he was
comforted in you, when he told us of
your earnest desire, your mourning,
your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even
more. 8 For even if I made you sorry
with my letter, I do not regret it; though
I did regret it. For I perceive that the
same epistle made you sorry, though
only for a while.
49. 2 Corinthians 7:7–12 (NKJV)
9 Now I rejoice, not that you were
made sorry, but that your sorrow led
to repentance. For you were made
sorry in a godly manner, that you
might suffer loss from us in nothing. 10
For godly sorrow produces repentance
leading to salvation, not to be
regretted; but the sorrow of the world
produces death.
50. 2 Corinthians 7:7–12 (NKJV)
11 For observe this very thing, that you
sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence
it produced in you, what clearing of
yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what
vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication!
In all things you proved yourselves to be clear
in this matter. 12 Therefore, although I wrote
to you, I did not do it for the sake of him who
had done the wrong, nor for the sake of him
who suffered wrong, but that our care for you
in the sight of God might appear to you.
