Evangelize in the Journey

Mar 22, 2026    Derrick Whiteman

This powerful message challenges us to embrace evangelism as an active part of our spiritual journey, reminding us that we live in a mission field right where we are. Drawing from the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, we're encouraged to write our plans in pencil and remain open to divine interruptions. Philip's obedience to an angel's vague directions led to a life-changing encounter that multiplied the kingdom. The message pushes us beyond our comfort zones, urging us to meet people we wouldn't normally engage with, just as Jesus broke cultural barriers to speak with the Samaritan woman in John 4. Perhaps most challenging is the call to share our faith with those closest to us, following the example of Andrew who immediately brought his brother Peter to meet Jesus. The three-person challenge offers a practical framework: identify someone close who needs Christ, someone outside our comfort zone, and leave space for the person God will reveal. As we approach Easter, we're reminded that God so loved the world, not just people like us, and that sharing this love is not optional but central to our calling as believers.
