Before we begin, remember…making disciples can be as easy as reading a chapter of The Four Priorities and discussing it with someone else. This blog series is designed to supplement your journey. Feel free to take what you need and leave the rest! And remember, please share this post with your disciple so they can subscribe, too!

KEY QUOTES from Chapter 24: Methods of Evangelism

6 keys to sharing your faith:

1. 1. Sensitivity to the Lord’s leading (Acts 8:26-27)
   2. Availability to Move (Acts 8:27-29)
   3. Initiative (Acts 8:30)
   4. Tactfulness (Acts 8:31)
   5. Precision (Acts 8:34-35)
   6. Decisiveness (Acts 8:36-39)

REFLECT:

• Which of the 6 keys is the biggest challenge for you personally?
• Look through this website to learn more about how to evangelize.

PRAY: We have a tendency to overcomplicate things – especially our prayers! One way to simplify your prayer life is to pick two phrases or truths from scripture and attach them to your breath pattern. As you inhale, internally say the 1st phrase. As you exhale, say the 2nd phrase.

INHALE: Though my sin is great

EXHALE: Your grace is greater

MEMORIZE: Take this week to memorize John 1:12 with your household. Write it on a sticky note to place on your car dashboard, your bathroom mirror, or wherever you will view it often.

John 1:12 “Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.”

WORSHIP: Listen to this song called The Gospel by Ryan Stevenson.

The Fallout of the Fall:

• We are disconnected from God.
• We are disconnected from ourselves.
• We are disconnected from each other.
• The entire world is thrown off kilter.

The Four Downs:

That’s it for Chapter 24!
Now…go! And make disciples!
