Evangelism is telling the good news by being a personal witness to others.
Describe evangelism in the early church as given by Dr. Wheeler.
• Ministered through constant presence, which means that the early church was out in the community on a daily basis spreading the Gospel to others.
• Depended on a consuming power, which means that those of the early church who were believers of Jesus are filled with the Holy Spirit.
• Shared a consistent message, which means the early church believed in Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection and the only way to get the heaven is through accepting Jesus into your heart.
• Possessed a convicting boldness, which means the early church was not afraid to speak the message of Christ with boldness to others, …show more content…
• The disciples approached evangelism by failing to prioritize evangelism (Earley and Wheeler,129). The disciples approached evangelism by overlooking the woman and not acknowledging her spiritual need (Earley and Wheeler, 130). When an individual notice that they are not getting acknowledged, they will begin to feel a sense of unwanted and that is exactly what the disciples did to the woman. Individuals are so caught up in the world and overlook those who are hurting and need Jesus. Individuals are missing the greatest opportunity to make a difference and share Jesus’ love.

• The main task that is different from the early church and local church is that the early church was not afraid to go out, spread the Gospel in the community, and be bold. I feel as though the local church feels like they might be judged by those who are around them or even the individual’s they are witnessing to. The main task that is similar to the early church and local church is that they both believe that Jesus is the only way to Heaven. Both churches have a common ground that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, rose from the grave, and is in Heaven. The only way for an unbeliever to get to Heaven is accepting Jesus into their heart and both churches understand the reality of not accepting
