gathering: Sermon Outlines for Evangelism
H. Lee Mason
The purpose is evangelism. The purpose is always evangelism. Jesus came to “seek and save that which is lost” (Luke 19:10). His last words to His followers, before returning to His Father, were to “make disciples” by teaching, baptizing, and teaching (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15, 16; Luke 24:44-47; Acts 1:8). This book is being printed with the prayer that the contents will be used by many to bring in a great gathering of souls for the Lord. Jesus said, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest" (Matthew 9:37,38). “He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him” (Psalm 126:6).
