    “The Jesus Model to Changing the World” pt 2


    The Three Bridges to Faith in Christ are;

    1. Develop Friendships

    2. Discover Their Story

    3. Discern Next Steps


    Matthew 4:19 NLT


    Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me,

    and I will show you how to fish for people!”

    I Corinthians 9:19-23 The Message Bible

    Even though I am free of the demands and expectations of

    everyone, I have voluntarily become a servant to any and all

    in order to reach a wide range of people: religious,

    nonreligious, meticulous moralists, loose-living immoralists,

    the defeated, the demoralized - whoever.


    I didn't take on their way of life. I kept my bearings in Christ -

    but I entered their world and tried to experience things from

    their point of view. I've become just about every sort of

    servant there is in my attempts to lead those I meet into a

    God-saved life. I did all this because of the Message. I didn't

    just want to talk about it; I wanted to be in on it!


    1. Develop Friendships


    John 15:15 NIV

    I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not

    know his master’s business.

    Instead, I have called you friends........

    He that shows himself friendly has many friends.


    Life is not linear. It doesn’t go in a straight line.

    Your job is to stay focused on the main thing, your mission to

    reach people for God.


    Jesus went where people were. He didn’t wait for them to

    come to him.

    I Corinthians 3:6 GNT

    I planted the seed, Apollos watered the plant,

    but it was God who made the plant grow.


    Outsiders won’t come in until we go out.

    Our goal is to build a bridge not a barricade.


    Why is Developing a friendship so important?

    You have to earn the right to speak into someone’s life.


    GO LIVE A 3D LIFE!
