Sermon Title: The Sad State of Evangelism in the Church Today
Guest Speaker: Jim Law (North American Mission Board)
Scripture: John 1:35–45

Join us this Sunday as Jim Law from the North American Mission Board brings a timely and challenging message titled “The Sad State of Evangelism in the Church Today.” Through John 1:35–45, we are reminded of the simple yet powerful call to follow Christ and invite others to do the same.

In a culture where evangelism is often neglected or misunderstood, this message addresses both why evangelism must remain a priority and what is preventing many believers from sharing their faith.

Jim Law walks us through two critical questions:

Why Should Evangelism Be Top Priority in Our Churches Today?

  • Because Christ Commanded It

  • Because Christ is the Only Way to Salvation

  • Because Christ Died for the Whole World

  • Because Churches that are not Intentional About Evangelism are Typically Weak in Evangelism

  • Because Churches Tend to Look Inward and Fail to Move Outward

  • Because Churches Become Content with Transfer Growth

  • Because Evangelistic Christians Grow Stronger as Better-Discipled Christians

What Is It That Keeps Most Christians From Evangelizing?

  • Spiritual Lethargy

  • Growing Inclusivism

  • Growing Disbelief in Hell

  • Busyness

  • Fear of Rejection

  • Desire to be Tolerant

  • Losing the Habit of Witnessing

  • Lack of Accountability

  • Failure to Invite

This message will both challenge and encourage you to take an active role in sharing your faith and living on mission for Christ.
