This Sunday at Abington Presbyterian Church (February 12)

This Sunday (February 12)  at Abington Presbyterian Church

This Sunday I will be preaching a sermon entitled "How to Share Your Faith". Who is responsible for evangelism?  Ministers?  Professional Evangelists?  Elders?  Deacons?  Each of us is called to share our faith in a welcoming manner with others.  This sermon is not about engaging in manipulative and dogmatic arguments, but rather about friendship, grace, and hope.   The three points are subtitled: "Get Up", "Connect", and "Listen Before You Speak".   My hope is that you will find this message helpful for dealing with those moments when you want/need to speak with someone about faith related issues, but are uncomfortable.
