How To Share The Gospel - Noah Herrin

Noah Herrin · Matthew 28:16-20

Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 28 (the Great Commission) arguing that every follower of Jesus has a mission: to 'go, make disciples, baptize, and teach.' He contrasts consumer Christianity (self-focused) with biblical Christianity (mission-focused) and urges the congregation to live with a missionary mindset in everyday places - work, family, and city. Herrin shares sobering statistics about how few Christians invite others to church or share the gospel, offers a practical five-part gospel outline for sharing faith, and encourages participation in small groups (WeGroups) as a primary way to reach Nashville. He closes by reminding listeners that victory depends on Christ's presence, not their own ability.

“There are five parts of sharing the gospel that make it the gospel ... number one I've fallen short I'm a sinner ... number five if you believe in him as Lord and you ask for his forgiveness you receive eternal life.” · Noah Herrin

Take it with you

Use the simple five-part gospel outline Noah demonstrated (1. I've fallen short; 2. Jesus lived perfectly; 3. He died in my place; 4. He rose; 5. Believe and receive eternal life) when sharing the gospel. Invite people to church and consider joining or hosting a WeGroup to create natural opportunities for unbelievers to meet Christians. Expect some conversations to plant seeds rather than immediate decisions and rely on the Holy Spirit - Christ's presence is the source of effectiveness.
