What if the secret to sharing your faith isn’t about converting others, but simply being a blessing? Our message today will discuss a powerful truth from Genesis 12, where God calls Abraham to be “blessed to be a blessing.” Through compelling research comparing “converters” versus “blessers” in Thailand, we discover how authentic faith-sharing flows naturally when we focus on blessing others rather than forcing conversions. Join in this time for a transformative message that will free us from the pressure of modern evangelism and show us God’s way of reaching hearts—starting right where we are.

STUDY GUIDE

1 – What is the fundamental difference between being a ‘converter’ versus being a ‘blesser’ in evangelism, and why does the sermon suggest one approach is more effective than the other?
– Application: In your own life, have there been times when you felt pressured to ‘convert’ someone versus times when you simply tried to be a blessing to them? What were the outcomes of these different approaches?

3 – The message uses the analogy of the Dead Sea versus flowing rivers to illustrate different approaches to faith. Why is this comparison effective, and what does it teach us about sharing our faith?
– Application: In what ways might you be acting like a ‘Dead Sea’ in your faith journey, and what changes could you make to become more like a flowing river?

4 – What role does the Holy Spirit play in evangelism according to the sermon, and why is it important to understand that we aren’t responsible for the actual conversion?
