DENNIS

Good morning everyone. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church.

Have you ever wanted to share the gospel with someone, but was too shy to do so? Have you ever gotten into a conversation about religion, and it ended up being an argument? Most of us have been there at one point or another.

I remember being a student at the University of Mississippi when a traveling evangelist came through. This guy was so rude and began condemning every person who walked by. According to him, if you wore a Rolling Stones t-shirt, then you were going straight to hell. I remember thinking I don’t ever want to be like this guy.

In my opinion, you can never share the gospel with an argument. It must be shared from an experience. Your experience is personal; it is a story about you. The Apostle Paul was great at sharing his story with other people. His story was about a personal encounter with a Savior who is alive!

People need to hear about a gospel that is real and how it affects real people in real situations. People need to hear your story. I challenge you to share your story today without presenting an argument.
