Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." Matthew 9:37-38

We're glad that our great God has brought you here, either to come to know Him, or to become better equipped to share the gospel with others.

If you're not sure where you are going to spend eternity, then please read this message first.

Evangelism – sharing the hope that is within us, isn’t an exclusive job for those called to be ‘Evangelists’. Jesus commissioned all Christians to share their faith (Matthew 28:18-19). The fact that Jesus would use us to be His feet is an honor and a privilege that we should not waste. We are living testimonies to God’s grace and He gave us all an unlimited amount of “Tickets to Heaven” to give out to everyone in our lives.

Every day we will all come into contact with many people who have never heard about the love Jesus expressed for us on the cross, people we may never see again. Each encounter is a chance to invite someone to live with God in paradise!


The D.O.C. - Church plant plan for Downtown Outreach

Hello everyone,

I am excited about what God wants to do in downtown St. Petersburg. Rick Brown and his family, who attend Calvary Chapel, have very generously offered to let us use a room in Remax Realty (just across the street from Baywalk) to begin having meetings for the Downtown Outreach Church. I am not certain yet as to what Friday night we will kick it off, but I will keep you posted.

I am going to need some help moving some stuff to prepare the room, and I'll let everyone know when that happens. In the meantime, I wanted to share with you a copy of the original vision document that I shared with the pastors at Calvary Chapel several months ago, in order for you to get a better idea of the vision I have for the D.O.C. Obviously, some of the things you'll see mentioned in the document will be things that have already taken place. [continue reading]


Evangelism Training

Introduction

This manual is designed to better equip you to share the gospel with unsaved family, friends, and strangers. Statistics show that only about 2% of professed believers in Jesus Christ share their faith regularly (from Dr. Bill Bright, Campus Crusade for Christ). Perhaps many professed believers really don’t care about the overwhelming amount of unsaved people dying everyday, heading for an eternity of excruciating pain and suffering without Christ’s blood covering their sin.

Making Sense of the Gospel

This message was delivered in an effort to better equip the believers in The Living Room Church, Barbados to share, and make sense of the gospel with the unsaved people in their circles of influence. 1 Corinthians 1:18 tells us that the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing. The unsaved think that the gospel is stupid and doesn't make any sense, but God has given His people a powerful tool designed to make sense of the good news. This message shares this tool and other insights so that the believer will be confident in sharing the gospel with the lost.


Is Repentance necessary for Salvation?

Scriptures regarding repentance
By Gabe Graham

1 Kings 8:46-50. This passage is taken from Solomon’s dedication of the temple of God. Here repentance refers to a sorrow for sin, admission of guilt, and turning to God with all of your heart. The word used for repent here is the Hebrew word snoob. It is also translated turn or return in other verses in the King James or New King James translations of the Bible. It means to turn back or turn away. Remember, the disciples were Jews and had a Jewish understanding of repentance. [continue reading]


Article from G.O.

Article from Calvary Chapel St. Pete's G.O. (global outreach) Newsletter.

Paul was a tentmaker missionary: He worked a job and taught people about Jesus. He actually was the original tentmaker missionary--he really did make tents.

We, too, are tentmaker missionaries--we who tell others about Jesus and work a job are just as “spiritual” as the Apostle Paul himself! Middle School Youth Pastor Josh Harris talks about why he started Team Hope: “I was motivated to start Team Hope by a vision and a passion that the Lord put on my heart to reach the lost with the gospel through organized street evangelism. The vision was to help equip believers who had a heart for evangelism and empower them to be more effective by teaming them up with other like-minded evangelists. I started it with the hope of handing the leadership over to Gabe Graham when he returned from Barbados, which the Lord worked out wonderfully!” [continue reading]
