TO SHARE AND UNDERSTAND

TEXT: Philemon 1:6

INTRODUCTION

· “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its

creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”              

          Dr. Martin Luther King, Lincoln Memorial, Aug. 28, 1963

· I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full

understanding of every good thing we have in Christ.

                          Phile 1:6 (NIV)

1) GOD IS LOOKING FOR WORKERS

· God is looking for me to be that worker

· God is asking me to pray for those workers and invite them into the harvest

2) SHARING HIM IS THE WORK

· Sharing him involves four aspects of spiritual work:

b. Proclamation - __________________________________________________________

c. Healing - _______________________________________________________________

d. Rescue - ________________________________________________________________

3) THAT WORK PRODUCES FULL UNDERSTANDING

· By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established;

                         Prov 24:3 (NIV)
