An Evangelism Resource

Many of you know that we recently finished a 4 week series on evangelism at Cru, but about half of the students involved with Cru in Pittsburgh don't regularly attend the weekly Cru meetings. If only someone would invent teleportation to remedy that problem...

Since about half of you who would be reading this didn't receive the sweet content delivered at Cru, we wanted to point out a few resources that you could use as a substitute. And, unlike most of what Hollywood foists on us right now, in our case the substitute may surpass the original!

Please accept my sincere encouragement (nay - challenge!) to listen to at least one of these talks. It'll take a half hour - download it and throw it on your iPod, then listen on the bus or as you work out. Beats listening to Owl City over and over again. Even if you were able to be at Cru for the whole Go! series, I encourage you to have a listen to these as well. Repetition is the best friend of theology, I say.

- Last week's sermon from North Way, by Gary Poole. It's not loaded at last check, but should be soon. An excellent intro and motivation for relational evangelism.

- And 3 John Piper sermons that Jon found:

This is based on Ephesians 6:10-20 and talks about evangelism in the context of spiritual warfare and the gospel's power.

This looks at Paul's story in Acts 26, focuses in God's sovereignty in our lives and evangelism, and gives some of God's purposes for evangelism.

This talk, based on the beginning of the awesome chapter 2 Cor 4, emphasizes the need for rebirth and gives 10 encouragements/tips for being a part of the process of God giving someone new birth through "gospel telling."

Enjoy!
