 Good evening church. How's everyone doing tonight? It's great to see all guys here. All right, so let's talk evangelism I want to quickly share one of the things that happens when you go out and evangelize to people Which I like to call the domino effect and if you want to get like a visual picture I'm pretty sure you guys seen it or or done it before we put all the dominoes lined up together And you hit the first one you make impact with the first one and when you make impact with the first one It makes impact with all the rest, right? and That kind of happens when you go out and evangelize to people as many of you guys know I didn't come from a Christian background or a Christian family So the first time that I told my parents that I came to a new church They suggested that I wouldn't go back because it was something different than what they raised me with But they're not knowing at the moment that I had found the answers to my problems I kept coming back and then I decided to get baptized and I remember the The time that I went home and told my parents My mom was in the kitchen cooking over the stove and I was like mom I'm getting baptized What'd you say you getting baptized? What do you talk about? Oh, you know my taloko watch it watch. I'm getting baptized No, I was like It's like what do you mean? What are you getting baptized and I was like, I know understand what you told me the other time but look this this and this is why I'm getting baptized and I know you guys are my parents. I love you guys. I don't know you guys But what I'll do respect. I'm gonna disobey this time, which wasn't the first time I disobeyed But but yeah, I still went and got baptized And after that a few months later, I believe that not only did they start seeing my commitment and consistency Come into church, but it starts seeing my positive changes in my personal life So then they told me they're all right at least even though you go to a different church than what the one we raised you with We want you to get closer to God and we're seeing that you're doing that and we're gonna support your decision 100% So so after that I'm at that time I couldn't I couldn't contain sharing what God was doing in my life I mean, I was telling everyone inviting everyone to church and The other time I was the other day I was thinking I was like how many people have came to how many people have got saved because I Invited them to church. I mean it's been from friends siblings co-workers co-workers friends Even strangers that I met right at the moment and even most recently about two months ago My mom that I first said not to get baptized and suggested not to come back to the church Came as a guest and surrender and gave a life to Jesus Christ Yeah And all that started first because I made the decision to follow Jesus But actually there was a decision made before mine by someone else a Decision made by someone else to come and evangelize to me and invite me to church and And I believe that a lot of us are here tonight because of that same reason Because someone else invited us to church someone stepped out of their comfort zone and Either witness to you share the testimony or just simply invited you to church And I don't know about you guys, but I thought about this a couple times. What would I be right now? Where would my life be if I didn't meet David at the gym and he'd invite me to church and It wasn't like I woke up one morning. I was like, alright, Jesus. I'm tired of this life I'm tired of this route. I think it's time for me to follow you now I think it's time for me to read the Bible and start praying it wasn't like that at all and neither did they David didn't know The outcome of that conversation when he witnessed me He didn't see me at the gym and I was like all looks like this guy has potential right here I think he would be a good asset for our church and be a great evangelist He didn't know where that see was gonna go that he planted in my heart And let me tell you that's one of the best feelings you could get When you see someone getting saved and give their life to Jesus Christ because you invited them to church But you won't know that feeling if you don't go out there and evangelize if you don't go out there and step out of your comfort zone And I understand that we're all different and it won't be easy at the first time But just if you get a little scared or nervous Just remember that someone stepped out of the comfort zone for you So let's go out and step out of our comfort zone and save souls for the kingdom of God. Amen. Amen
