Soul to Soul
Teachers
Lesson Summary
In this class, the teacher reminded the congregation that the Christian mission remains as vital today as it was in the early church. By highlighting Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:15, and Acts 1:8, the teacher emphasized that believers are called to be witnesses and to make disciples throughout the world, a mandate that must be revived each generation. The lesson connected this biblical mandate with the recent "Day of Dreaming" activities, showing how ideas for fellowship, worship, education, and evangelism can be practical expressions of the Great Commission. The teacher also addressed common fears surrounding the term "evangelism," explaining its Greek roots (eu‑angelion) and clarifying that it simply means "good news" rather than the sensational stereotypes many associate with it. By sharing personal stories about Idaho weather and the congregation’s own challenges, the teacher illustrated how ordinary circumstances can become platforms for sharing Christ’s love. The session concluded with an invitation to an upcoming evangelism seminar featuring Steve Ridgel, reinforcing the theme of reaching one soul at a time.
Key Scriptures
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
And he said to them, 'Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.'
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
