Read 2 Corinthians 5:20. Unpack the phrase “ambassadors for Christ.” How is this a helpful way to view yourself? 3. Read 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12. What stands out to you now? 4. Since The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing, how would you verbalize the main thing of this sermon? 5. Bible truth is both for living and for sharing. Living: How will your life be different as a result of this? Sharing: How/with whom can you share this? 6. What else have you learned over the years about being more effective in sharing Jesus with others? 7. How can these Bible verses be a “one verse evangelism” tool? Romans 6:23; John 3:16; 1 Timothy 2:5; 1 John 5:12. Others? 8. What remaining questions, comments or insights do you have to share with your group? 9.
