will be My witnesses – in Jerusalem, in Judea, in Samaria, and in every
part of the world.” Acts 1:8 (NCV)

2. MY MESSAGE: GOOD NEWS
“...proclaim the Good News to everyone, everywhere.” Mark
16:15 (LB)

News shows how God makes people right with Himself -- that it begins and
ends with faith.. As the Scripture says, ‘Those who are right with God
will live by trusting in Him.’“ Rom 1:17 (NCV)
BENEFITS
· FORGIVENESS FOR MY PAST

was in Christ, restoring the world to Himself, no longer counting men’s sins

He has given us to tell
others.” 2 Cor 5:19 (LB)

“For the love
of Christ compels us...” 2 Cor. 5:14 (NIV)
“The Holy
Spirit doesn’t want you to be afraid of people, but to be wise and strong, and
to love them and enjoy being with them, If you will stir
up this inner power, you will never be afraid to tell others about our Lord.” 2

you do or say, let it be as a representative of the Lord
Jesus....” Col. 3:17 (LB)

most of your chances to tell others the Good News.” Col. 4:5 (LB)
A
TOOL: “ESTABLISHING A SPIRITUAL BASE”

around the world with the news of Your saving power and Your eternal plan for
all mankind.” Psalm 67:2 (LB)
