Evangelism Insights from Francis Schaeffer

Josh Benadum

Romans 10:14

Francis Schaeffer, a nineteenth century, prominent theologian, provides several key insights into faithful and biblical evangelism that is transcendent across culture and time. Schaeffer was convinced that we must become preoccupied with reaching the people of our current generation. We should not settle for a superficial knowledge of secular ideology, and we should hold loosely to language or methods that may be barriers to the gospel. While we want to adorn the gospel with authentic Christian love and community, we never want to compromise the truth as we do so. Finally, we can have confidence to point every individual toward a God who is truly there.

Corinth

Ben Foust

Acts 18:1-18

Paul travels to the city of Corinth, known for its wealth, hedonism, education, and spiritual relativism--not unlike our culture today. God reveals to Paul that He has many people in that city, and many come to faith in Christ. Like Paul, we should be ready to share the Gospel with those to whom God leads us, no matter how unlikely their response may seem.

Using Your Freedom to Love - Part 2

Conrad Hilario

1 Corinthians 9:1-22

The Apostle Paul explains to the Corinthians how he makes the message of Christ relevant to both Jews and Gentiles in the different cultures he encounters. In the same way, Christians today should not seek to change culture, nor create their own Christian sub-culture, but rather find ways to show how the gospel message is compatible with culture in many ways while being careful not to adopt anti-biblical cultural values.

Judea & Samaria

Ben Foust

Acts 8:1-39

Jesus' followers encounter persecution that results in them being scattered. While all appears hopeless, God actually uses their circumstance to advance the gospel into Samaria, just as Jesus predicted. This passage also covers Philip's encounter with a eunuch, where Philip powerfully shares the gospel, dependent upon the Holy Spirit.
