Evangelism Isn’t As Hard As You Think

About this sermon

Could sharing your faith be as simple as giving away a free Disneyland ticket? Today Pastor Greg breaks down the surprising truths and everyday challenges of personal evangelism—what it really means to “go into all the world and preach the gospel,” and why we’re so uneasy talking about Jesus even when we’re excited to recommend things like burgers, movies, and songs. From confessing his own early nerves as a teenage Christian to the unforgettable power of the Four Spiritual Laws, you’ll hear relatable examples that prove anyone can start a meaningful conversation about Christ, even if you know very little. Pastor Greg’s message will challenge and equip you to step into your personal sphere of influence—friends, relatives, associates, neighbors (what he calls "FRAN-gelism")—with faith, courage, and trust in God’s Spirit at work.
