How Not To Talk To Your Friends About Jesus | Isaiah 11:1-5
Evangelism
How can we share the wonderful news of Jesus and all He has done for us? What power, perspective and pattern should we follow? Evangelism isn't about following a strict formula; it's about following Jesus. Let's stop viewing evangelism as that scary thing that we relegate to our "outgoing" Christian friends and recognize it as our opportunity to join Jesus in His mission of seeking and saving the lost!

- How does viewing evangelism as a formula or task differ from seeing it as an invitation to follow Jesus?
- How can you grow in "delighting in the fear of God" mentioned in Isaiah 11:3a?
- The phrase "Desire motivates, not duty" can apply to sharing your faith. How can you pray about this idea to help you when witnessing to others?
- Isaiah 11:3b says, "He (Jesus) will not judge by what He sees with His eyes, or decide by what He hears with His ears.” Are there any people you need God to help you see differently?
- Read Isaiah 11:10. Which nations do you feel Jesus is asking you to pray for?
