Our church is going through the Way of the Master Basic Training course on Sunday nights. And it just so happens that John Piper preached on evangelism Sunday, in a sermon titled You Are God’s Midwife for the New Birth of Others. We downloaded and watched it last night, and I highly recommend it:

…Tell people the good news of Christ from a heart of love and a life of service. You get a little picture of that combination in 2 Corinthians 4:5: “What we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.” Proclaiming Christ as Lord and offering ourselves as servants. Haughty, condescending proclamation of Christ, with no feeling of brokenness or servanthood, contradicts the gospel. And silent servanthood that never speaks the gospel contradicts love. “We proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord with ourselves as your servants.” That’s what we do to help people be born again. We tell people the good news of Christ from a heart of love and a life of service.
