Be Clear, not Coercive, About What You Believe
Acts 4:1-10

“The next day the council of all the rulers and elders and teachers of religious . . . brought in the two disciples and demanded, “By what power, or in whose name, have you done this?” 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of our people, 9 are we being questioned today because we’ve done a good deed for a crippled man? Do you want to know how he was healed? 10 Let me clearly state to all of you and to all the people of Israel that he was healed by the powerful name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, the man you crucified but whom God raised from the dead” Acts 4:1-10

44% of all “un-churched” people think Christians “get on their nerves”. But we can be clear without being obnoxious. I think most people like directness without pushiness. In fact 78% of “un-churched (89% of twenty-somethings) want to hear more about the Christian faith!

  1. I always find it very ironic that non-Christians schedule their lives on a calendar based on the most significant event in the history of Man - the birth, life, death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. While other calendars may exist in some cultures, the entire world follows the calendar based on Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, people have forgotten the basis of our calendar. I find this one segue to discuss Christianity in a historical context without being overhearing, while making people stop and think.
