What does your day-to-day look like? Do you get on a bus to get to work or carpool? How many trips do you make during your day...to get lunch, to stop at a grocery store, or run an errand? Think about the people you cross paths with in just one day of your life. It reminds me of a story about a man who boarded a bus and met a man carrying a book on Buddhism. That was all he needed to open a spiritual discussion. And by the end of the bus ride, the man heard the Gospel and was extended an invitation to church. And while he didn’t make a profession of faith in Christ right then on the bus, we know that God can and will use that kind of conversation in his life. Would you like to do this kind of witness too?

Our busy lives operate in community groups, and I’m not talking about Sunday school classes or weekly life groups at church. These community groups are made up of parents, even grandparents gathered at the local youth baseball diamond, the club volleyball tournament, the high school soccer game. We have opportunities to be a part of hundreds of different community groups, and it creates an incredible opportunity to talk to people about Jesus at every ball field, recital hall, and dance studio that you visit. It reminds me of Dr. Seuss’ book titled Oh The Places You’ll Go...and oh what you’ll accomplish for the kingdom of God when you’re prepared to share your faith. We have tools and resources to help you get started at our website, share life dot today. And we’d like to invite you to join us for Go Training Day as we prepare to share our faith in May as a part of the Go Month. _______________________ ShareLifeAfrica is a Christian radio and podcast program of Evangelism Explosion International Africa Ministry; that is committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to confidently and effectively share your faith with others.”

You know, I really believe with all of my heart that sharing the Gospel is the most important task that believers can do. And that’s why I love to share my faith. Jesus used the most ordinary things to lead people to Himself. At a well, Jesus spoke of Himself as the Water of Life that quenches a deep thirst. To the hungry, He presented Himself as the Bread of Life. To the crippled and the sick, He was the One who could make people whole. We have opportunities all around us to share our faith; and with just a few simple tools, we can not only vocalize the Gospel but develop an alertness of mind and compassion for the lost. When we look at the New Testament, we see ordinary people, just like you and me, who took it upon themselves to share the Gospel in their everyday lives. Join us for Go Training Day as we prepare to share our faith in May as a part of the Go Month. _______________________ ShareLifeAfrica is a Christian radio and podcast program of Evangelism Explosion International Africa Ministry; that is committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to confidently and effectively share your faith with others.”

In a recent study done by BarnaResearch, half of Generation Z Christians they surveyed said that they believe “letting your actions speak rather than using words to explain your faith” is evangelism. Fifty percent! Now today, we’re going to tackle two important things we need to know regarding words and actions when it comes to evangelism. First, you cannot share the Gospel with someone by some form of osmosis. Words must be shared. Second, you can’t share the Gospel by a simple act of kindness alone. While that act is wonderful, it points no one to Christ. The Bible is clear that the Gospel must be spoken with love, with grace, and with winsomeness. With a little discipleship, we can become great verbal Gospel witnesses and share life today with our friends, relatives, work associates, neighbors, and even strangers that we meet.

Remember, it is the Gospel itself, not our clever answers or power of persuasion that is the “power of God unto salvation.” When you’re sharing the Gospel, and you encounter an objection, the goal is to deal with the objection as simply and quickly as possible and then continue with the Gospel. Two keys to remember are first, to research their question and return with an answer: If you don’t know the answer to their question, tell them, “That’s a great question. Can I do some research and get back to you on that?” And then,continue with the Gospel before making an appointment for a future visit. If you’re able to respond to the objection on the spot, do so quickly and again get back into sharing the Gospel. With a bit of knowledge, many common objections can be answered right on the spot. Join us this Saturday for the Go Day as we share our faith in May as a part of the Go Month. _______________________ ShareLifeAfrica is a Christian radio and podcast program of Evangelism Explosion International Africa Ministry; that is committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to confidently and effectively share your faith with others.”

Psalm 73 says it well, “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Through the deep gratitude that we have for our Savior, we use the strength He gives us to serve others. And it’s a delight to His heart when we do. Jesus said in Matthew twenty-five that if we help the less fortunate...”whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” As children of God, our hearts should be aligned with God’s heart. And God tells us God is patiently waiting so as many as would call on His name would have a chance to do so. Today is the day we should serve others and tell them the Greatest News: that Jesus loves them and has died on the cross to take on the penalty for their sins. For all who put their trust in Him and Him alone, He gives them the right to become children of God.

I don’t know about you; but sometimes it seems like we could use some armor. Between the temperature of our culture and the crazy things that we see on the news, some protection would be welcome! Ephesians six tells us that we should “put on the whole armor of God, that [we] may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but...against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” God protects us even against things that our eyes cannot see. He has already defeated the enemy through Jesus’ death and resurrection! We celebrate because Jesus is the victor. He’s crushed the head of the enemy. But while we are here on earth sharing the Good News of what He has done with others, we need to put on the armor of God and stand strong. And we’d love to help!

Paul gives a blessing to Timothy in Second Timothy two one (2:1) that he would “be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus.” Now, I’d like to pray that same blessing over you today! As you go about your daily tasks, whether good or bad experiences come your way, I pray you’ll be strengthened and held by the grace that is in Christ. You know, grace is one of the utmost attributes of love. It means we receive something that we don’t deserve! And one of the grandest works of God’s grace displayed is that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. When we place our faith in Him, we’re strengthened not in our own might but in His. Ask God today that He would not only strengthen you but also give you the opportunity to share the Good News of His grace with others.

How do we live with strength? Do you know that when you become a child of God through placing your faith in Jesus alone, you receive the strength of Almighty God? We see a picture of this in one of my favorite Psalms: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” He is our bulwark—or fortress, in other words—that never fails. And when we place our worries and anxieties in His strong hands, He holds us and gives us peace. Paul tells us in Romans four (4) that for Abraham, one of the great fathers of our faith, “no unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith...” And this is what happens when we rely on God—we grow strong. Do you know anyone who needs this strength and security in their life? Well, be praying and looking for opportunities to share the Gospel with them!

What do you think true strength is? I think oftentimes, strength is attributed to the physically strong. We see people join the special forces training in the military and go through tasks that make even the strongest physically buckle. But you know, that’s not what real strength is. In fact, it’s something that isn’t dependent on how weak or strong we are physically. Real strength is God who can create the universe with the sound of His voice. No human strength can match His glorious might. And He promises to be our strength and fight our battles for us. When we’re His children who have placed our trust in Jesus and Him alone—His work on the cross—we have a Father who is our shelter and our might. Let’s not hold back from sharing with others how they can find their rest and their strength in Jesus as well.

(Season 65: Episode 05) “In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,a wondrous beauty I see, for 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died, to pardon and sanctify me.” What a beautiful way George Bennard described the cross of Christ in this famous hymn. This, this is the Good News of the Gospel! In the horrible, painful image of our crucified Savior, there is grace and mercy that we don’t deserve—complete forgiveness for all of our wrongs. When we place our trust in Jesus, He takes our sins on Himself and gives us His spotless, perfect life. When God sees us, He sees righteousness. O what a Savior, that while we were yet sinners, Jesus died so that we might be forgiven. And here in a few days, we celebrate that Jesus conquered the grave and stands as our King who triumphs over sin and death. Let’s share with others!

(Season 65: Episode 04) During the very first Easter Week, Jesus celebrated the Last Supper with his disciples the night before He was crucified. On this Passover night, He sat with His disciples and gave them a clear picture of what He was about to do through their last meal together. He “took bread, and gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to [His disciples], saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant of my blood, which is poured out for you.’” We take communion as Christians in remembrance of what Jesus has done through His death and resurrection. The bread represents His body broken, and the wine depicts His blood spilled for the forgiveness of sins. He did it out of love for us! And all we must do to receive forgiveness is to place our trust in Jesus alone.

(Season 65: Episode 03) As we continue walking through Easter together, today I want to look ahead to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. In the Gospels, we see Jesus pray through the night asking God to take the cup of what was to happen from Him. If you or I stood in His shoes—facing the wrath of Almighty God for the sins of the world—we probably would have refused it. But even though Jesus asked His Father, His will was set. He was committed to the cross. But it wasn’t easy for Jesus. He felt such sorrow and agony that He told James and John, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death.” Jesus knew He would not only die but take the judgment, anger, wrath, and separation from God that we deserved. But He did it willingly. And He did it for us. He died so that all who put their trust in Him alone would be blameless before Almighty God.

(Season 65: Episode 02) When Jesus came to Jerusalem that first Easter week, He didn’t just come to celebrate the Passover...He came to fulfill it! The very first Passover occurred when Moses was trying to free the Israelite slaves from Egypt. Pharoah had seen God’s might and will through nine plagues that had come upon his nation. But Pharoah, after making false promises, would go back on his word; and God would warn him again. The tenth plague killed every firstborn son, except for the ones that had the blood of a lamb without blemish on their door frame. And that blood was the substitute for their sins. And for hundreds of years before, the blood of a spotless lamb was the only temporary substitution for sins. But Jesus...He came to shed the perfect, final, atoning blood on the cross. And all who put their trust in Him alone, God counts as righteous by His substitution.

(Season 65: Episode 01) What a meaningful week we’ve just started! And walking through Easter with your family, friends, and even strangers can be a wonderful way to share the Gospel with them. Because truly, the Good News of the Gospel happened that very first Easter week and started with Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey. At first glance, that may not seem like much...but truly, this was an amazing and powerful act. Jesus’ entry on a donkey claimed His rightful place as their Messiah—the One who came to save His people from their sins. Every Jew there would have known Zechariah’s prophecy of the King and the Messiah coming—triumphant and victorious!—on a donkey colt. And that’s why they shouted “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” King Jesus came to be the sacrifice for sinful humans. And all who place their trust in Him alone, “He gives the right to become children of God.” For more, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org _______________________ ShareLifeAfrica is a Christian radio and podcast program of Evangelism Explosion International Africa Ministry; that is committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to confidently and effectively share your faith with others.”

(Season 64: Episode 05) “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Have you heard this beautiful chapter before? In Psalms 23, we see a picture of what resting in the Lord is like. He “makes [us] lie down in green pastures; He leads us by quiet waters; He restores [our] souls.” This peace happens as a by-product of walking with God. From the very first moment we are born again through placing our trust in Jesus, we are on an incredible journey of God restoring us through the righteousness of His Son. He grows in us the Fruit of the Spirit, such as peace and joy, as well as gives us Spiritual gifts we can use in service to Him. “He leads [us] on paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” And one of the ways we can glorify His name is by sharing the Gospel with others. We get the privilege of sharing the Gospel of peace with others. Don’t know how to start? We’d love to help.

(Season 64: Episode 04) “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life...” You see, God is holy and perfect. In fact, the book of Habbakuk says that “His eyes are too pure to look upon evil; He cannot tolerate wrong.” And according to Matthew, the standard we all must meet is to “be perfect, as our Heavenly Father is perfect.” You see, we have a big problem. And there is a payment or a wage for our wrongdoings...and that is death. But praise be to God! He had a plan to redeem us. He sent His Son, Jesus, to live a perfect life and die on the cross in our place. And all who believe in Him, “He gives the right to become children of God.” And we can sing, “Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain; He washed it white as snow.” Learn to share this Good News with others by visiting our website at sharelifeafrica.org _______________________ ShareLifeAfrica is a Christian radio and podcast program of Evangelism Explosion International Africa Ministry; that is committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to confidently and effectively share your faith with others.”

(Season 64: Episode 03) Have you heard of the Ten Commandments? You can read this famous passage in Exodus 20. A few of them are to have no other gods before the one, true God, to not take the Lord’s name in vain, to keep the Sabbath day, to not murder, to not steal, and to not lie. And in modern times, sometimes these laws of God are looked down upon. But truly, they serve an incredible purpose. Not only do they clearly show us what right and wrong is, but also they give us a view to our own hearts. Jesus taught us that if we hate someone, it’s the same as murder; or if we think lustful thoughts, it’s the same as adultery. The law of God shows us that we need a Savior to forgive us of our sins. And praise be to God—a sinless Savior came for us. His name is Jesus. For all who put their trust in Him, they are declared righteous before Almighty God.

(Season 64: Episode 02) Have you ever thought, "I just don't know if I can make it into Heaven?" Well, the truth is, you can't! You absolutely cannot make it into Heaven by relying on yourself and your good works. None of us will ever be good enough to get into Heaven. Now if that sounds like really bad news to you, it's actually quite the opposite. You see, if none of us can make it into Heaven by our own righteousness, there has to be another way that does not rely on what we do. Here's the good news: by accepting God's free gift of grace by placing your faith in Jesus, you CAN get to Heaven. The only way to get into Heaven is by relying on the righteousness of Jesus instead of your own good deeds. What a relief! You just need to trust in Jesus alone.

(Season 64: Episode 01) As we continue our series, “The Real Light,” this week, I want to ask you...what do you think real righteousness is? In our culture, many think and believe that right and wrong is a matter of perspective, but the Bible says something very different. God tells us there is a clear distinction between right and wrong. And we know it in our heart of hearts. In Jeremiah thirty-one (31), God tells us, “I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds.” And He truly has. Its called our conscience. We know when we fall short and commit wrong. The true miracle is that our perfect, holy, righteous God offers us forgiveness of our wrongs through trusting in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. And then, He gives us a new heart of faith and obedience. We are righteous through Jesus. Who can you share this Good News with today?
