Nav Conference Notes - Part 2


LIVING AMONG THOSE

"YET TO KNOW CHRIST"

Who are the friends that brought you to Christ?

Who are the
"Yet To Know Christ"
people that have YOU on their
Top 5 List
to call when they have a need or problem?

Who are the
"Yet To Know Christ"
people on your
Top 5 List
that YOU would call
when YOU have a need or problem?

Tell me about the last time
you led someone
to Christ.

Tell me about the last time
you led someone
toward Christ.


Leading people TO CHRIST

is the same as leading people TOWARD CHRIST.

Evangelism is a relay race
of a network of friendships
and relationships.

We run our part
and pass the baton on to another
who may lead that
"Yet To Know Christ"
person to Christ.

Where do we find
"Yet To Know Christ"
people?

1st Place - HOME
2nd Place - WORK
3rd Place - THIRD PLACES
(cafes, coffee shops, little league, clubs)

That's where they are.
That's where we are.

Nav Conference Notes

LIVING AMONG THE LOST

The Need Of Our Times:

EVERYDAY PEOPLE

knowing Jesus & loving Jesus & helping other

EVERDAY PEOPLE

knowing Jesus & loving Jesus.

"When Jesus looked out over the crowds, his heart broke. They are so confused and aimless...like sheep with no shepherd. What a huge harvest! He said to his disciples, 'How few the workers! Pray for more harvest workers!'"

FOUR CHARACTERISTICS

of

EVERYDAY PEOPLE:

1. LIVING LIFE OUT OF BROKENNESS.

2. NEEDING & PURSUING TRANSFORMATION.

3. EXPERIENCING COMMUNITY.

4. LIVING MISSIONALLY AS GOD'S DESIGN FOR US.

Why I Love The Bible - Deuteronomy!

MOSES
His Last Sermon
Deuteronomy is a sermon - the longest sermon in the Bible!

MOSES
The setting is stirring... emotion-packed.

MOSES
Takes God's Word... Takes Human Experiences...
Then reproduces them into this present moment.

The complete range of human experience
is brought to life and salvation
by the revelation of God:

LIVE THIS...NOW!

MOSES
Closes with a charge...
Closes with a song...
Closes with a blessing...

To launch them into TODAY'S obedience and believing!
LET'S GO!

MOSES
Leaves his pulpit on the plains...
Climbs a montain...
And dies.

Eyesight as sharp as ever,
Walking with a spring in his step,
Still brimming with words and life.
