John 3:16-17 • What Jesus is telling us is he wants all to be saved and that takes ALL of us! Why Is Outreach Important? 1. Do You Want Your Friends To Go To Hell? 2 Peter 3:9 ESV 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 2. If You Are Not Going To Tell Them, Then Who? Matthew 28:16–20 ESV 16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” 3. Why Would You Not Want To Share The Goodness of God? 1 Chronicles 16:34 ESV 34 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever! What does this mean for us? 1. Do you know Jesus? 2. Who in your circle needs to know Jesus? 3. Will you tell them?
