2 Minute Exhortation for the School of Evangelism
2-Minute Presentation Highlights
Day 121 Readings: Judges 13:1–14:20; John 1:29–51; Psalm 102:1–28; Proverbs 14:15–16
2-minute talk (oral presentation):
Shalom, fellow students! Today’s readings remind us that God moves first, even in dark seasons. In Judges 13, Israel falters again, yet the Lord is already raising a deliverer. If you feel weak or underqualified, remember: God is not finished with you. He prepares His work before we feel ready.
In John 1, John points us to the Deliverer: “Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” The gospel is simple and clear: we have sinned; Jesus died for our sins and rose again. He offers forgiveness and new life to all who repent and believe.
Here’s a repeatable way to evangelise today: pray for one person by name, share one Scripture about Jesus, then invite a response. Ask, “Would you like to surrender to Jesus and call on Him with me now?” Because “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13).
Go with Courage.
Psalm 102 reminds us that God hears us, and “Thou art the same.” Walk wisely—Proverbs 14 calls us to fear the Lord and turn from evil. Stay on mission: preach the Word (2 Timothy 4) and remember the Great Commission. Jesus has all authority, and He is with you always (Matthew 28). Go share Christ with one person today.
God moves first in dark seasons (Judges 13).
Fix your eyes on Jesus, the Lamb of God, and obey His call: “Follow Me” (John 1:29, 43).
Anchor in God’s unchanging character and walk wisely in the fear of the Lord (Psalm 102:27; Proverbs 14:15–16).
Stay on mission: preach the Word—go in His authority, trusting His presence (2 Timothy 4; Matthew 28).
Shalom
Shalom, dear fellow students! Grace and peace to you in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. As we continue our journey in the School of Evangelism, may the Word steady us, strengthen us, and send us out with fresh courage.
Key anchors for today: 2 Timothy 4:1–5 calls us to stay faithful and keep going; Matthew 28:16–20 reminds us that Jesus has all authority, sends us to make disciples, and promises, “I am with you always.”
Process (simple evangelism pathway)
Pray — Ask the Lord for an open door, boldness, and a prepared heart (1 Thessalonians 5:17).
Share — Give one clear gospel truth and one Scripture (John 1:29; Romans 10:9–10).
Invite — Ask for a response: repent, believe, and call on the Lord (Romans 10:13).
Follow up — Continue the conversation, read Scripture together, and point them to fellowship and discipleship (Matthew 28:19–20).
Today’s action plan (do this with one person):
Choose one person and start a respectful conversation.
Ask, “Can I pray with you about anything?”
Share one clear gospel sentence (John 1:29) and, if appropriate, one verse (Romans 10:9–10).
Invite, “Would you like to surrender to Jesus and call on Him with me now?” (Romans 10:13).
Follow up within 24–48 hours—message, visit, or set a time to read Scripture together.
Introduction
As we move forward in the School of Evangelism, let’s allow God’s Word to encourage us, steady us, and give us fresh courage.
Scriptural Foundation
When you feel like you’ve done all you can, remember the charge of Scripture: we minister before God, and we will give account to Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 4:1). So, we do not drift or grow silent—we preach the Word, ready in season and out of season. We correct, warn, and encourage with patience and sound teaching (2 Timothy 4:2).
We must stay sober about the times: many will reject healthy doctrine and look for what pleases them (2 Timothy 4:3–4). Even so, we stay alert, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and finish our assignment faithfully (2 Timothy 4:5).
(2 Timothy 4:1-5 KJV)
The Great Commission
After the resurrection, the disciples worshipped Jesus—even while some still wrestled with questions. Jesus anchored them in this truth: all authority in heaven and on earth is His. Then He sent them: “Go, make disciples of all nations, baptize them, and teach them to obey everything He commanded.” He sealed the mission with a promise we can live on: “I am with you always” (Matthew 28:16–20).
(Matthew 28:16-20 KJV)
Encouragement for Evangelism
These scriptures remind us that evangelism is not an optional extra—it is joyful obedience. We keep preaching and teaching whether it feels “in season” or “out of season.” Jesus has all authority, He has sent us, and we never go alone. The Lord is with us every step of the way.
Pray
1 Thessalonians 5:17 — Pray without ceasing.
Let’s prepare our hearts, too. Each day, ask the Lord to break up the “fallow ground” in us and to soften the hearts of those who are still lost. Let’s be willing to win souls no matter the cost—and to count the cost of serving and reaching the lost with the good news.
Confess & Believe
Romans 10 (KJV) key verses (training bullets):
Confess and believe: “If thou shalt confess… and shalt believe… thou shalt be saved” (Romans 10:9–10).
Call on the Lord: “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13).
Gospel logic: call → believe → hear → preacher (Romans 10:14–15).
Our role: God sends preachers; we speak so others can hear (Romans 10:15).
Faith grows by the Word: “Faith cometh by hearing… the word of God” (Romans 10:17).
(Romans 10:9–10, 13–15, 17 KJV)
Charge:
Keep it simple and faithful: pray without ceasing and speak the Word clearly.
Call for a response: invite people to call on the Lord, and don’t be afraid to ask.
Follow up with love: don’t wait for perfect conditions—obey Jesus today, trusting His presence as you go.
Arise
So today, let’s rise and do the work of an evangelist. Let’s preach this gospel—both in season and out of season—one-on-one, from house to house, and in larger gatherings.
Together in His end-time army,
