The Winning Witness’ Travail

Bible Audio Blog
      19810222 Winning Witnesses - The Witness' Travail - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

What kind of #labor or travail does a #winning #witness have to go through even though they have the truth of God’s Word and the strength of the Holy Spirit?  From where should our burden for the lost come?  What makes this burden grow?  How much was Paul concerned for the lost?  How about Jesus?  Is this travail meant to bring us down?  How strongly did Paul wish that he could save everyone?  When you listen to Paul’s description of his fellow Israelites in their lost state, do you see any parallels to our current society?

Housekeeping note:  I did not have one of these messages titled the Winning Witness’ Target, but if you listen, Brother Tommy recaps it at the beginning of this message.

The Winning Witness’ Training

Bible Audio Blog
      19801102 Winning Witnesses - The Witness' Training - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

We expect athletes to #train before they ever #compete in a #game or event.  But, what would you call a person who trains constantly but never gets in the game?  Witness training is something that can be done throughout your life but it should be used along the way.  What is the burden or debt a Christian owes to a non-Christian?  What did Paul mean when he said he was ready and not ashamed?  What is the secret to becoming a fisher of men?  What role does prayer play in witnessing?  How about the reading and studying of the Word of God, the Bible?  What can we learn from Jesus’ example about being social?  Are you isolating or insulating?  How adaptable should we be?

The Winning Witness’ Task

Bible Audio Blog
      19801005 Winning Witnesses - The Witnesses' Task - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Do you have a #ToDoList?  Christians have one given to them by #Jesus Christ Himself.  We have been given a big task.  How can we complete it?  Where do we find the power to share the good news of the Gospel to anyone, anywhere, and at anytime?  What are some of the roadblocks we can run into while witnessing?  What message are we supposed to be sharing?  Are there duties beyond witnessing once someone has accepted Jesus as their personal Savior?  Carrying out this Great Commission comes with a promise.

The Winning Witness’ Type

Bible Audio Blog
      19800914 Winning Witnesses - The Witness' Type - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Let’s begin an eight week series of lessons on being a #winning #witness.  No one can be a witness to what they have not experienced themselves.  So, of necessity these messages are directed to believers about how to share the Gospel with their non-believing friends.  Who is our best example or type of a perfect witness?  Of course, Jesus was chosen by God, but are we?  How do we know that witnessing is not just the responsibility of preachers and missionaries?  Did Jesus depend only on Himself to be a winning witness or did He get help from the Father?  What part does judgement play in this process?  Is there also Grace involved?  Was Christ witnessing in a free and open environment?  What can we learn about His approach to the lost?  Did Jesus win over everybody?  And yet the Bible declares Him victorious.

The Way to Worship

      19870823 The Way To Worship - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

What is one thing we all have in #common?  What form does our search for #God, #meaning, and #worship take?  Why should we worship God?  Would God rather have us serve Him or worship Him?  Is there a difference?  What does the Bible mean when it calls God a jealous God?  Why is it okay for Him but not for us?  When God is honored how does it help us?  What comes first, worship or work?  Where should worship take place?  How should worship look and sound?  What did Jesus mean when He told the woman at the well to worship in spirit and truth?  What impact should worship have on us?

A Cloud of Witnesses

Bible Audio Blog
      19861130 A Cloud Of Witnesses - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Some people refer to #life as a #RatRace.  Would it surprise you to know that the Bible compares the #Christian life to a race?  Are all the spectators of your life cheering you on to win?  Is it only the opposition watching you run?  Who might be in this cloud of witnesses spoken of in the Bible?  What lessons can we learn from these observers?  What obstacles can we expect in this race?  How can we get rid of these speed bumps?  What is more important in a race, the start or the finish?  Where should your focus be?

How to Know the Will of God

Bible Audio Blog
      19880522 How To Know The Will Of God - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Is it important for us to know God’s will?  Have you ever wondered #why you are here or if there is a #purpose to your life?  If you want to know why you were created, why not ask the Creator?  God promises success if we follow His plan for our life.  But, who defines what success looks like?  Does God lay out His plans for us all at once?  Is there any risk involved in turning control over to God?  What is our role in finding out God’s will?  When is the right time to start following it?  What must happen first?  What are the next steps for finding the will of God?  Will the will of God ever contradict the Word of God?  Do our feelings or common sense ever play a part in finding God’s will?  How about the advice of other Christ followers?  What part does peace play in this process?

Living Waters

Bible Audio Blog
      19880619 Living Waters - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

What kind of water are you drinking?  Is it tap water (hopefully not from #Flint, Michigan), or #spring water, or even reclaimed #seawater?  Jesus came to give us living water to keep us from getting thirsty ever again.  What does that mean?  What is the importance of this hour, right now?  Who made the first move between Jesus and this woman at the well?  Why was this interaction so unusual?  What makes living water better than the water that this world has to offer?  Why did Jesus bring up this woman’s husband?  What kind of theological deflection did she try to sidetrack the discussion?  What answer did Christ give her that led her to salvation?  What evidence do we see of her decision?  What were the disciples doing during this encounter?
