Jim Donohue on Evangelism
0 CommentsYesterday, Jim Donohue preached a humbling and provoking message about Jesus’ heart for the lost in Luke 18:35-19:10. In that passage, Jesus explains to his followers that “the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost.” Jim helped us consider what this should look like in our own lives.

Application Questions:
1. Luke 18:40 (and implied in Luke 19:5) states, “Jesus stopped.” Stopping to befriend blind beggars and evil traitors was an interruption for the disciples, but was always a part of Jesus’ plan “to seek and save the lost.” Where are you allowing your selfishness or pride to hinder you from stopping to reach out to unbelievers?
2. Do you remember Jim’s story of the woman who went on the weekend with her sisters? Where is God calling you to “get your hands dirty” in order to reach the lost? What’s something you can do in the next few weeks to take steps in this direction?
3. Jim exhorted us to urgently seek the lost by intentionally building relationships with unbelievers. When was the last time you were in the home of an unbeliever or they were in your home? What practical changes to your schedule do you need to make to build relationally with the lost?
4. Like Zacchaeus sitting in the tree watching the Savior, there are people in our lives observing our relationship with God. Who are these folks in your life? What steps can you take to reach out to them?
