Title: Sharing the Good News
Topic: Witnessing to Sinners

Discussed by Pastor Ed Ethridge
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Part 1 of 2

Is there anything better than hearing the news that a soul has been saved for eternity? I think not!

Today, Pastor Ed Ethridge expands on a prayer from Amy Peterson: “There’s so much about You, God, that can be shared with others in my life. Lead me as I interact with them. Amen.”

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Should we all be more like the woman at the well, who ran to tell others about Jesus, the Living Water?

Why do many believers not share their faith with others?

How can we prepare to share the Good News with others? Pastor Ed says pray for them and pray for opportunities to share the Gospel.

When we learn of a person in need, should we volunteer to pray for them on the spot?

Topic: Witnessing to Sinners

Discussed by Pastor Ed Ethridge
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

During Christmastime Sunbeam bread  has a picture of a little girl praying on their bread packages. Is this a great way to open a conversation in the grocery store about Jesus and his love for us all?

Most people would attend a church service, especially at Christmastime. Who can you invite?

Has the Lord blessed you? Share that good news with someone today!

Title: Witnessing to Sinners
Topic: Witnessing to Sinners

Discussed by Dr. Russell Moore
with Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission

Part 1 of 2

Does the marginalization of conjugal marriage in American culture have profound implications for our gospel witness?

Does the recent Supreme Court decision give Christian churches the opportunity to do what Jesus called us to do with our marriages in the first place: to serve as a light in a dark place?

Dr. Moore is upfront with his discussion of how the modern church stopped calling sin ‘sin’. Listen in… but if you are a fornicator, committing adultery, or remarried but living in sin - be careful, he might step on your toes.

Title: Part 2 of 2
Topic: Witnessing to Sinners

Discussed by Dr. Russell Moore
with Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission

Must we, as true believers in Jesus Christ, repent for our pathetic marriage cultures within our churches?

Should our churches be just like the local Justice of the Peace and marry any two (or three or four) people that want to get married?

President Obama was quick to state that churches will continue to have the freedom to place restrictions on whom they marry. But wait until tomorrow, or next week, after some gay couples ask your church and your pastor to marry them. When they are refused, they will sue. Listen in… you may agree with Dr. Moore or you may agree with the host. Please let us know by sending us your comments using the comment link.
