WHY SHOULD YOU SHARE YOUR FAITH?

• "Go into all the world and preach the gospel"...."make disciples of all nations" Matthew 28:19
• "Do the work of an evangelist" 2 Timothy 2:5
• "You must never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord." 2 Timothy 1:8
• "Be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear" 1 Peter 3:15 "If you are asked about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it." New Living Translation

Some fear of getting to big as a church and would prefer to see a church stay small if we fail to reach others and fail to see our church grow we may as well look at people and tell them!you can go to hell."

Let's grow and tell others of the good news of Jesus!

HOW DO YOU SHARE YOUR FAITH?

If you can answer these 3 questions you can share your faith.
