Here is a list of evangelistic encounters from the Book of Acts, some of which we were beginning to engage with at DTP this week:

• 2:14-40, Peter Preaching at Pentecost

• 3:11-26, Peter in Jerusalem

• 4:5-12, Peter speaking to Jewish leaders

You might find other passages that are useful, but these should get you started.

After thinking thorugh what we would say / want to hear in an evangelistic sermon, we were asking a number of questions, including:

What are the key points of the Gospel the Apostles are preaching?

What would you expect to hear in an evangelistic sermon that doesn’t feature here?
