Sundays at Rock Church | August 23rd 2026

Main message: The sermon (part of a five-week "Just One" series in Mark) taught practical, loving evangelism: pick one person to pray for, learn to share a concise gospel testimony and lead them in a simple salvation prayer, and let love — not argument or guilt — be the foundation for reaching them.

Key points:

• The basic gospel tools: short testimony format ("Before Jesus I was... Then Jesus... Since then...") and the ABC salvation prayer (Admit, Believe, Confess) — practice leading people by pausing for them to repeat each line.
• Love is the primary posture for evangelism (rooted in the greatest commandments): love God and love your neighbor.
• Four practical ways to love someone into the kingdom (L.O.V.E.): Listen to learn (ask thoughtful questions), Offer to serve (sacrifice on their behalf), Value their humanity (they’re made in God’s image), and Encourage them toward Jesus (be a steady supporter).
• The sermon included live demonstrations and a recorded testimony to model how to share testimony and lead someone to Christ, and encouraged using a follow-up app/text “Just One” process to practice and track progress.
• A warning about the "cost of no action": if you never speak, the person you care about may never hear the gospel from you.
