Into the Breach Pt. 1: “Stand Back Up”

John 11:14–16 John 14:5–6 John 20:19–29

How to stand back up if your evangelism has been sitting down

1. Longevity is not an excuse for passivity. Proximity isn’t true proximity unless it’s getting others proximate.
2. You cannot be inwardly formed and not outwardly facing. You cannot be inwardly formed and outwardly silent. Holy moments birth holy sacrifice, holy sacrifice brings holy life, and holy life brings a holy voice—a voice that brings others to the Holy One.
3. Loving God and not loving neighbors is apostasy.
4. Most of Jesus’ ministry was seeing the needs of others, meeting the needs of others, and reframing what they think they need (food/water, relationships, health, wealth) into what they actually need (him). We meet the needs of the world while also acknowledging the greatest need is wholeness, contentment, and peace that Jesus brings through his Holy Spirit.
