A PowerPoint on Biblical Evangelism, by Bill Rhetts, MA
A PowerPoint on Biblical Evangelism, by Bill Rhetts, MA
This is the outline of a two hour 72-slide presentation that I have given at a couple venues. It would be more beneficial to have the voice of the author give the explanation and application. Nevertheless this may be helpful to you.
Nowhere in the Scriptures are Christians told to wait once a year, to bring an unbeliever to a crusade. But the Scriptures do tell us to bring the crusade to them.
Table of contents:
- The Church
- The Evangelist
- Boldness, courage, and/or confidence
- What does the Bible say about public preaching?
- Dealing with hecklers (with videos)
- Dealing with the ‘Stop Judging Me’ card
- Being ready to give an answer
- Developing our messages or sermons
- The Law vs the Gospel
- A check up from the neck up
- When evangelism becomes a stumbling block
- Dealing with the police
- Soteriology (an abbreviated ABC’s application to this presentation)
- Encouraging words from others, and
- Round table discussion
UPDATE 10/27/18: I no longer give this presentation at churches. I believe it is important to disciple, train-up, and equip your own men from your own congregation, and use them for teaching and preaching. But you can use this PowerPoint as you wish. More in comments below.

Lately the conversations that’s have repeatedly come up amongst brothers, is how their own local churches are not using their own men within their own churches. I’ve had these conversations in person, and I’ve seen them on Facebook. Rather than their pastor(s) (or leaders) use their own men to occupy the pulpit while their away, they will only use pastors from other churches within their own denomination (or association). The churches I attended for the first half of my Christian life weren’t that way, as they used their own men for teaching or preaching, but I no longer see this. Over the last five years, this has become a ‘growing concern’ of mine. I’m not talking about getting ‘me’ into the pulpit. I’m talking about churches using their own laymen – period. You do not need a graduate degree, nor a seminary degree to be qualified to do this.
.
Then hear comes my opportunity. Do I accept it, while having a log in my own eye? Or do I say “no?”
.
Most recently a wonderful pastor from another church contacted me. He asked if I’d be willing to present my PowerPoint presentation on evangelism to his Sunday school class (over a two week period.) It is a wonderful thing to hear a church desire to take evangelism seriously. My flesh said “yes.” I then asked him how large his congregation was. It was larger than the National average, so I respectfully declined.
.
I advised the pastor that I was grateful for him asking me. But I encouraged him to find a brother from his own congregation that would be qualified to do this. I told him surely there must be many of his own men that the Lord can use, out of the hundreds that attend his church. I even told him they can use my PowerPoint if they desire, and they can edit it as they wish.
.
It is my personal opinion that ‘a sign’ of a healthy church (or Biblical church), is they will disciple, train up, and equip their own men to teach their own congregations. They will also use their own women to perform the tasks they were gifted, and called to do.
.
My questions for you are the following.
.
1) Has your pastor (or elders) ever approached you and asked you, “What gifts has the Lord given you?” (they can then test them thru time)
.
2) Do they use men from your own congregation to fill a vacant pulpit?
.
3) Or do they use men from other churches to fill your pulpit?
