Week 40 of 52
Evangelism
Good news is meant to be told, and Scripture shows how it travels.
Built on Romans 10:13-15. Paul's chain of questions: how shall they call on him, how shall they believe, how shall they hear, how shall they hear without a preacher. Evangelism is the answer at every link.
The word gospel means news, not advice. News is either told or it is not news at all, and Scripture treats the spread of the gospel as something that happens through people speaking, not through ideas circulating on their own. From the first disciples running from an empty tomb to Paul reasoning in synagogues, the pattern holds: someone tells someone else.
This week looks at how the Bible itself models evangelism: what is said, to whom, under what pressure, and with what result left to God. It resists both extremes, the fear that keeps a believer silent and the pressure that turns evangelism into performance. What stays constant across every example is the content: Christ, and Him crucified and risen.
