Sermon Notes

Ready for Open Doors (Colossians 4:2-6)

I ought to speak to make the gospel clear.

Perspective – how does their life portray a gospel problem?
Bridge – how can I identify with them in the problem, the struggle, and the solution?
Approach – what avenue do I have to speak life and hope to them?

Keep yourself alert and ready for gospel conversations!

Steadfast in prayer 

Are you devoted to praying?

For God’s desires and God’s will?
For God to move in you?

“Humble me, change me, use me”

For those around you, with watchfulness?
Recognizing and appreciating what God has already done?

Intentional in relationships

The gospel is most effective in the midst of my life, not instead of my life.
What is an “open door”?

When someone is seeking truth
When someone is hurting or struggling
When I face hurts or struggles
When there is pushback
There are many openings to steer the conversation to eternal matters!

Wise in time 

Consider: why do I do what I do?

It’s time to reevaluate our busyness!

Wisdom reflects our values (Prov 1:7)!

Do I value people?
Do I value God’s mission?
Do I value my calling as a Christian?
Do I hold dear what’s not eternallyprecious?

Gracious in speech

How can I let my speech be “seasoned with salt”?

Speak to real people with real struggles needing real answers!
Listen first! (Prov 18:13, James 1:19)
Love with burden and perseverance!
Share Jesus, not moralism!
Win people, not arguments!
