2016. Episode 14-What if My Friend is Apostate?

blue_yeti_microphone_review-1A few weeks ago I preached on Hebrews 6:1-8. After the service a friend asked me how to approach someone who is apostate. Do we stop talking to them about Jesus? Do we assume they are lost forever? This podcast is an attempt to answer that question.

2016.Episode 13 Evangelism 101

Philip-and-Eunuch

A couple of weeks ago our church discussed Acts 1:6-8 in our evening service. We looked at what it means to be witnesses to the risen Christ.  This podcast is a follow up to that laying out some basic principles which should govern evangelism in the church. I do not give specifics on how to share Christ with individuals because there is no specific method. It varies from person to person. Instead I give some broader guidelines that will help a church and congregation be faithful in evangelism.
