MAKING SENSE OF THE GOSPEL!

Pastors this will be a very beneficial call for you and laymen in your church on knocking down internal and mental barriers to you and your people sharing their faith.
Dr. Lyle Pointer has been the Chair of Evangelism teaching at Naz. Theo. Seminary for the last several years. This will be an astute and sharp presentation of this subject.

Mark it on your calendar;
Thursday, July 29, 2010, Dr.Lyle Pointer will facilitate the CLT conference call. Dr. Pointer will talk about how to make sense of the gospel. Following his presentation, participants on the call will be able to ask questions.

CLT CONFERENCE CALL..
dial 760-569-6000 and enter access number 793452#

Some of the questions Dr. Pointer will answer include:
1. Why is it necessary to make sense of the gospel?
2. What prevents unbelievers from accepting the gospel?
3. How do we, as Christians, best communicate the gospel?
4. What do those interested in God most need to hear?
5. How do we help unbelievers make a decision to become a Christ-follower?
6. How do we make the gospel good news for the undecided?
7. Since words have limitations, what do we say to those who are resistant?
8. How is God involved in our witnessing efforts?
9. How do we overcome society's resistance to evangelizing?

Even though registration is not necessary we would appreciate it if you could e-mail us at DiscipleshipPlace@nazarene.org to let us know if you plan to attend.
The time of the call by time zone is:
9:00 p.m. Atlantic Time
8:00 p.m. Eastern Time

Make a fellowship time out of it;
Put it on a speaker phone for your S.S. teachers or Small Group leaders….
Go to someone’s home and listen to the call together…
Or have it at church with several of your laymen…
I’ll give you a money back guarantee that it will be worth the time to ramp up our heart for evangelism. !
