“The Starfish Story”

“ Well I sure made a difference for that one”

Just like that single starfish, the world for
one person can change every time you share
the gospel

Developing a Heart to Share Jesus

Recall some of the times you spoke about Christ

Five questions, Seven Verses & Five additional
questions
 After this course, you will have the confidence
Witnessing should be a normal part of our life,
God is at work in people all around us
Our part is to be obedient

 A Barrier To Sharing Christ

 Think of one person (co-worker, family member,

etc) whom you feel is the least likely person to
become a Christian

What is it about some people which makes us

feel they are so unlikely to receive Jesus as Lord
and Savior?

 Are We to Witness?
Christ’s first instructions to His new followers
were: “Come follow Me, and I will make you
fishers of men.” (Mark 1:17)

His last instructions to His disciples were: “But

you will receive power when the Holy Spirit
comes on you; and you will be My witnesses in
Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to
the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) 6

Many Christians do Not Know How

To share their faith

Many have tried and received a negative
reaction
Felt rejected and thought they failed
 As a result they do not witness anymore and
now feel guilty about it

The Sin of Silence

Is there a sin of silence when we say nothing?

Is anybody here guilty of the sin of silence?

Maybe - someone else can speak to this person

about Christ

The Sin of Silence is a Deadly Sin

Can we recall the times we chose to be silent?

The Apostle Peter thought it made sense not to put
himself in danger 
Many of us have also decided not to risk being
rejected, embarrassed or persecuted.
Why do we choose to be silent?

“Share Jesus Without Fear”

Will show you how to be free from failure when

witnessing to those who are spiritually lost.
You will learn that success is more than leading
someone to Christ.
Success is living the Christian life day by
day, sharing the gospel and trusting God for
the results.

What Is Success In Witnessing?

How many of you thought that success in

witnessing is bringing someone to the point of a
decision for Christ?

Success in witnessing is living out my Christian

life, sharing the gospel and trusting God for the
results

Gideon & Moses were reluctant to go

Gideon’s Objections were: “But Lord how can I

save Israel? My clan is the weakest in
Manasseh and I am the least in my family.”
(Judges 6:15)
Yet with nothing more than faith in God and in
partnership with Him, Gideon was to accomplish
God’s mission with only 300 men against an
opposing army of approx. 120,000
12

Moses Initial Reaction to God

1. He didn’t have the position or stature to

approach a powerful Pharaoh (Ex 3:11-12)
2. The people won’t believe his story (Ex 4:1-9)
3. That he isn’t a good speaker and can’t talk
easily or say the right things (Ex 4:10-12)
Does that sound familiar?

13

(Exodus 3:12) God Says “I will be with you”

Moses overlooked, God’s promise

Many Christians today overlook this promise

Jesus command in the Bible in Matthew 28:19

says “Go and make Disciples”

You Will Likely be One of Several

Christians in the lost persons life

On average it takes 7 or 8 times after hearing the
gospel before someone surrenders to Christ
You may be first touch
You may be #7 or even #10 or #30 for some
-- Or you may be the key that opens their heart

17

You can’t fail

If you’re faithful
The Bible will provide the answers
The Holy Spirit will provide the power 
(John 16:7-8) says, “When He (the Holy Spirit)
comes He will convict the world of guilt in regard
to sin and righteousness and judgment.”

You will sense if God is working in his/her life
These five questions will help you move a
conversation toward spiritual concerns
It will help you to avoid talking more than you
listen

23

3. Do you think there is a heaven and a hell?
R
4. If you died right now, where would you go?

The First Question!

1. Do you have any type of spiritual belief?

 Allow the person to bring their disbelief into the
conversation
You should not attempt to clarify anything the
person says
Just focus on attentive listening
Your only responses should be something like
“Umm” or “Uh huh.”
25

The Second Question!

2. To you who is Jesus?

This is a question for “Religious” people to see if they
actually have a personal relationship with Jesus.
Some will answer, He was a good man.
Or, the man who died on the cross
These answers do not indicate a personal relationship
with Christ
 A Christian would simply answer, “My Lord and my
Savior.”

Does the Person Have A Personal

Relationship With Jesus?

Each one of us have to either accept or reject Him!

In Mat 16:13-16, Jesus asked, “But what about

you? Who do you say that I am?”

27

Question Three!

3. Do you think there is a heaven and a hell?

This is also, a non-threatening question
You are opening an opportunity for him or her to
talk about the subject of heaven and hell
Let them tell you what they believe
Let the Holy Spirit use this question to turn their
heart toward Jesus
28

14

Question Four!

4. If you died right now, where would you go?

This requires a response from the heart
People get very serious when reflecting on the
personal aspects of their lives
If the answer is “Heaven.” Ask, “Why would God
let you in.”
The answer they give will open their heart to
receive additional truth
29

Question Five!
If what you believe were not true would you
want to know it?
If the answer is “Yes” proceed to step two
(Reading the Bible verses)
If the answer is “No” then stop
When you become silent, they may want you to
continue
However, if you get a firm “No” remember, he is
using the freedom of choice that God gives 30
