Life on the West Side

Evangelism And The Jesus Method

January 05, 2026 • Nathan Guy • Season 5 • Episode 25

What if we went about "gospeling" as a way of life--the Jesus way? This is part of a year-long focus on the heart of the Christian faith so that we can share with our neighbors the faith of a Christian heart.

The sermon today is titled "Evangelism And The Jesus Method." This sermon is the first installment in our series "Back To The Basics." The Scripture reading is from Matthew 4:23-25. Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on January 4, 2026. All lessons fit under one of 6 broad categories: Begin, Instill, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under SERVE: Announcing The Kingdom.
