Exploring Evangelism
Evangelism is a great adventure and something that God invites every single Jesus-follower to join Him in.
It’s about helping the people around us discover a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Filmed in breathtaking historical and natural locations around Wellington, New Zealand, this series tackles an often intimidating subject in a thoughtful and sensitive way, while inviting us to embrace the excitement of stepping out with our Lord.
Exploring Evangelism is designed to equip us for action. Each episode includes lessons from the Bible, questions for personal reflection or group discussion, and practical tools to help anyone join the journey, regardless of personality, age or ability.
The series is made for people with busy lives. Episodes are bite-sized - only three to four minutes - so that they can be absorbed on the run, or as part of a daily devotion. The short format also makes the videos easy to re-watch for a quick refresher on evangelism essentials.
Exploring Evangelism, Part 1: Radar Dome (Prayer)
In evangelism, our first steps are taken in prayer. As ordinary people, we are incapable of convincing a single person to believe in Jesus. We overcome the impossible by beginning in prayer before our God, for whom anything is possible.
Exploring Evangelism, Part 2: Lighthouse (Good Deeds)
Light. It’s something every single one of us understands. And Jesus uses it to teach a simple principle in evangelism that every single one of us can do. So let’s get started.
Exploring Evangelism, Part 3: Radio Station (Listening)
Some believe that the most important skill in outreach is listening. It means that we don’t have to be put off by a lack of knowledge or gifting. It means that great spiritual conversations are open to all of us.
Exploring Evangelism, Part 4: Secret Weapon (Questions)
Often we can avoid spiritual conversations because we don’t have all the answers; the truth is that we never will. And yet, when we learn to ask great questions, we help others find answers for themselves and open up the way for great conversations.
Exploring Evangelism, Part 5: Power Station (Gospel)
There’s no power like the gospel. A message that makes a greater difference than we could imagine. A message that moves people from darkness to light; from death to life. How empowering to be reminded that we don’t have to conjure it up - it’s God’s power and we let it out!
Exploring Evangelism, Part 6: Rail Trail (Compassion)
Matthew records that Jesus had compassion on the large crowds in the midst of his own sense of grief. Compassion doesn't just lead us to feel that something should be done, it drives us to action. How is God moving your heart towards those who don't know Him?
Exploring Evangelism, Part 7: Mountain Trail (Invitation)
Invitations to church can be as unique as those we would like to invite. Have you ever considered that God may want to use the things you love doing as an opportunity for people to experience the community of the church?
Exploring Evangelism, Part 8: Campfire (Stories)
Sometimes we find ourselves welcome in places where Jesus might not be. What are the things God has done in your life? Are you ready to share them?
Exploring Evangelism, Part 9: Fishing Boat (Becoming New)
In this last episode of Exploring Evangelism, we hear about how Jesus said to his disciples, "Come, follow me!"
What might this look like for you?
