Here is a list of evangelistic encounters from the Book of Acts, some of which we were beginning to engage with at DTP this week:
2:14-40, Peter Preaching at Pentecost
3:11-26, Peter in Jerusalem
4:5-12, Peter speaking to Jewish leaders
5:29-32, Peter speaking to Jewish leaders
7:1-60, Stephen talking to the Jews
8:26-40, Philip and the Ethiopian
10:23-48, Peter talking to Cornelius
13:6-15, Paul in front of Sergius Paulus
13:16-41, Paul speaking in the Synagogue in Psidian Antioch
14:8-18, Paul speaking to Greeks in Lystra
16:25-34, Paul speaking to the Jailer
17:16-34, Paul speaking to the Greeks in Athens
22:1-29, Paul giving his testimony to Jewish people
24:10-21, Paul speaking to Felix
26:1-19, Paul giving his testimony to Agrippa.
You might find other passages that are useful, but these should get you started.
After thinking thorugh what we would say / want to hear in an evangelistic sermon, we were asking a number of questions, including:
What are the key points of the Gospel the Apostles are preaching?
What would you expect to hear in an evangelistic sermon that doesn’t feature here?
