Lesson 2

DATE: Sunday 18th June 2023

TOPIC: Reaching Others for Christ

TEXT: John 1:40-49, John 12:20-22

AIM
i. To teach that Christ wants us to make disciples of all men
ii. To teach that every Christian should lead someone to Christ

INTRODUCTION:
Each time we see Andrew in the gospel, he’s bringing someone to Christ. First, he brought his brother, Peter. Then in John 6:9, he brought a young child to Jesus who had five loaves and two fish. Phillip also brought Nathaniel to Jesus through his persistence (Nathaniel initially had his doubts). And in John 12:20-22, Andrew and Philip led a group of Greeks to Christ.
Andrew brought his brother Peter to Christ, and Peter ended up bringing multitudes to Christ. The person you share your faith with today, or bring to church next Sunday, or invite to the nearest House fellowship may be used by God to do things you never thought possible. There is always an eternal reward as you point people to Christ by your invitation.

DISCUSSION
1. According to the text (John 12:22), who brought the Greeks to Jesus?
2. Mention ways that you can bring people to Christ? Bring someone with you to church service specifically to hear the gospel. Have a Bible study in your home/office, give gospel literature, Demonstrate the love of Christ, create a soul winning prayer list, live as example, Mention others.
3. What should we do after bringing them to Christ? Disciple them!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
You will never be a soul winner if you never get started Do your part and relax as God does His part.

MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 28: 19-20
