Digital Logos Edition
The local church is the provenance of evangelism for reaching its community and the world. After a foundational, biblical theology of the Great Commission and the Holy Spirit’s role in evangelism, this course proposes a comprehensive and integrated approach to evangelism in the local church that avoids over-compartmentalizing evangelism and discipleship. It focuses on a variety of evangelism methods, the evangelistic purpose of an organized fellowship of churches, and pastoral leadership in evangelism. The largest portion of the course is devoted to the evangelistic responsibility of all believers and practical biblical instruction concerning effective personal evangelism.
This course may be taken for credit by enrolling with the Berean School of the Bible. For enrollment information, please call 1-800-443-1083.
“The word evangelism is derived from the Greek word euaggelion that is translated ‘gospel’ or ‘good news.’” (Page 27)
“Great Commission cyclekw. Evangelism should always be undertaken with the objective of discipleship, and discipleship should always prepare believers for evangelism.” (Page 27)
“Salvation is not possible without forgiveness. There is no forgiveness without confession of sin and no confession of sin without conviction of sin.” (Page 65)
“The goal of evangelism is more than a salvation decision. It is a change in lifestyle, a life following Christ in obedience to His teaching and commands. The end objective is a disciple—a committed and faithful follower of Christ.” (Page 27)
“‘Evangelism is to so present Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit that men might come to trust Him as Savior and serve Him as Lord in the fellowship of His church.’” (Page 27)
