My outline...

A Witness of the Light...

Part of the 'hook' : "So the couple got taught a 12-week Bible study by Joe, a man who took five minutes to spell one sentence."

Thesis statement: We need to take the time to witness about Jesus.

Outline Points: #1: You can witness in many different ways. It doesn't have to be by knocking on doors; it could be...

#2: It's a Christian's obligation to testify about Christ. You can start by showing love to others by...

#3: God wants everyone to go to heaven. Every one is important to him, and they should be important to you...

Quote: "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light." John 1: 6-8

Opposing side: Now you could argue: " I'm too busy; I don't have the time." Look, I agree with you 150 percent. I really am too busy. But can you say you have never had a day where you just lie around being bored? I have had days where I will sit and practice my guitar until my fingers are purple...

Conclusion: What if everyone told one person about Jesus? Think about that... what a different world we would have.

Well I guess that's it...ha ha just kidding pastor!
