Jesus emphasized on evangelism (Act 1:8)
The church should go out and do evangelism to all people
This mission is not an option. As long as you have believed in Jesus Christ,
you have to Go

my ministry should be to evangelize. I am at Chongshin to be a good witness
of Jesus Christ as my Lord.
II. THE GREAT MISSION AS THE MISSION OF WINNING SOULS

TEXT: REVELATION 21:6

TITLE: JESUS AS THE ALPHA AND OMEGA

1
INTRO: God through our Lord Jesus is the beginning of everything! As we start this semester we
have to recognize that we have the alpha and omega. Alpha is the first letter in Greek alphabet
and Omega is the last letter in Greek alphabet.

Teachings

Jesus made everything to happen (he is the alpha). He was at the very beginning of
creation. (John 1:1-5) and therefore he established the world.
Jesus is the alpha of salvation (he starts salvation to us)
He is the center of our preaching and Christian teachings
App: if I preach, I must preach Jesus only! If I dont have Jesus in my life I am nothing.
As I begin this semester, I need Jesus to be my alpha. And he will be my omega also to
the completion of this course.
Jesus makes everything new into my life. That is why he is saying he is the alpha and
omega.
CONCULUSION:
Jesus Christ is coming to take the church to heaven
Let us hold in him and serve him while waiting for him
Do not give up wherever you are; the alpha and Omega is with you!
His promises to you never fail!

TEXT: 2 CORINTHIANS 12:8-12

TITLE: GODS POWER MADE COMPLETE THROUGH OUR WEAKNESS

INTRO: before Paul believed in Jesus he thought he had power. He had confident in the Law of
Moses and he studied under Gamaliel, the famous professor of the law at that time. but things
changed immediately. When?

Teachings

When believed in Jesus Christ he saw himself to be weak

When believed in Jesus, he lost power
He felt to be weak and need more Jesus into his life
App: we as Christians have many weakness. Do not worry about that weakness. You are
strong in Jesus Christ. If you dont have power, do not be embarrassed but your power
must come from on high. From Jesus Christ only.
Things to remember
2
 We have to recognize our weakness in order to get changes
God is going to transform my weakness to power. When I am powerless, I become
strong.
I have to see Jesus only in my weakness! There are many things I cannot do, but if God
wants me to do I will do.
Jesus Christ died on the cross. He became weak but he is strong
Amen!

TITLE: TO BE APPROVED BY GOD

INTRO: The bible is Gods word and we have to use it correctly and if we do not know how to

We have to be approved in the following ways

1) We have to be approved as the faithful servants for:-

i. Teaching sound doctrine

side. Do not give up and do not be discouraged. Amen.

TEXT: PSALM 141:1-5

TITLE: THE PRINCIPLES OF PRAYER

3
INTRO: In our life, we always pray to God asking something! Many of us we do not know the
source of our prayer. Why do we pray to God? Is it because of your chaplain forces you to come
in chapel? We have to know why we need prayer. The fact is that, we face different situations in
our life and we have to ask God for his mercy in our life.

Outline:

1. DAVID PRAYER MUCH

He prayed in all situations
He prayed in happy times
He prayed in distress times
David prayed in order close his mouth
We need to pray to God in order to close our mouth. In our words there is
power. The words create! The world was created by the word of God.
Our word may encourage and heal. So we need to close our mouth in prayer.
App: we need to pray much in every area
2. JESUS PRAYED MUCH
Jesus went on the mountain daily and prayed
Jesus told us to ask-that means to pray to him and we will get the answer of
our prayer.
CONCLUSION:
How many times do you pray?
We need much time to pray
Sometimes we speak negative all the time, we need to pray to God so that our
mouth might be shut.
Now we are going to pray for that.
Amen

TEXT: I KING 18:19-24

TITLE: DO YOU HAVE FIRE

INTRO: The context of this passage is from the previous chapters

We see that Elijah gathered the people

He wanted to show them his God
The prophets of Baal were many and Elijah was the only one prophet at that time.
People wanted to know who is God and who not God is.
Elijah asked the people to draw water! This was a strange thing to them to accept.
Point to remember:-
1. Elijah believed in the God of Israel
2. Elijah trusted in the Lord
3. The prayer of Elijah was heard by God

TEXT: I KING 19:12

TITLE: LISTENING TO GOD

INTRO: When we read the background of this passage you will know how Elijah had been
threatened by Jezebel he decided to run away.

Elijah went very far escaping the hand of the woman Jezebel
In his escape, Elijah did not ask God!
God allowed him to where he was heading for. Later on God asked him, where are you
going? He did not answer the correct answer but he responded according to the situation
in his life at that time I am running away because of Jezebeli
When God wanted to speak with Elijah, three thing appeared first
i. Wind
ii. Earthquake and
iii. Fire
In the Old Testament those things signified the presence of God. Read the book of
Exodus 19-20.
Elijah did not remember that God was there at that time in order to help him.
App:
i. We need to know how our God speaks! Have you experienced the presence of
God in that situation?
ii. God speaks many times and in a different way. We need to learn how our God
speaks.
iii. As long as I am in Chongshin, I have to learn how God speaks to me.

ECC 8:1-4

TITLE: FACE SHINE

INTRO: verse 1 asks a question. Who is wise? The answer is given there that is the one whose
face is shining? But still the question remains, how can we shine our faith through wisdom?

The face referred here is not the physical face but the spiritual one.
It is the power or authority
Example Mosess face was shining when he came down from the mountain

6
 App. We need to shine in our life! If we have wisdom in our life, we will shine.
1. When we ask God in prayer, our face will shine ( EX 34:39). After Moses being with
God for 40 days, talking to him and receiving the Law, his face shone.
2. When Jesus coming down from the mountain, where he was talking with his father his
face shone
3. Obey the Law of God (Joshua 1:8). The law of the Lord are instructions on how to live
and be with good relationship with him

App: We have to be with wisdom in our ministry. When we talk to God our face will shine.

TEXT: JOHN 1:12-14 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right
to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of
