Evangelism isn’t about winning arguments; it’s about winning people by showing them the beauty and glory of Jesus in the gospel. #GreatCommission #LoveLikeJesus

“What is the relation to the mission of the church to the world? Not quietism. Not passive submission to the rule of injustice and greed and hypocrisy” Lesslie Newbigin.

The hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.

John 4:23, ESV

You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

Acts 1:8, ESV

[Elijah Layfield, ThD @elijahlayfield]

Almighty God, you opened the way of eternal life to every race and nation by the promised gift of your Holy Spirit: Shed abroad this gift throughout the world by the preaching of the Gospel, that it may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen.

Book of Common Prayer, 227

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:57, ESV

[Elijah Layfield, ThD @elijahlayfield]

Forgotten and unknown people change the world.

That's who the church is made up of.

God shapes history through the lives of people who are committed to following Jesus, seeking their joy in him, speaking the gospel, loving the unloveable, and glorifying the Lord.

[Elijah Layfield, ThD @elijahlayfield]

The gospel is the anchor in times of trial.

No matter how fierce the storm, the cross stands steady because the Son of God absorbed the wrath of God.

The Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him.

Jesus said: "I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins."

John 8:24, ESV

[Elijah Layfield, ThD @elijahlayfield]

We believe that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.

1 Corinthians 15:3–6, ESV

[Elijah Layfield, ThD @elijahlayfield]

Grace is God loving us even though we don't deserve his mercy.

Jesus lived the life God demanded, but received the punishment we deserved.

Let awe of God's grace move you to grace others through God's work through you.

[Elijah Layfield, ThD @elijahlayfield]

Come let us worship and adore the Lord for his love and mercy are everlasting!

[Elijah Layfield, ThD @elijahlayfield]

The gospel isn’t just what we believed in order to be saved.

We keep on believing the gospel to become like Christ.

We keep on believing the gospel so that it overflows into the lives of people who don't yet believe.
