[4359.62 --> 4360.26] It makes
[4360.26 --> 4361.26] And let me tell you
[4361.26 --> 4363.14] That is often
[4363.14 --> 4364.52] Where things happen
[4364.52 --> 4365.48] In fact
[4365.48 --> 4365.76] I don't know
[4365.76 --> 4366.60] If I've shared this before
[4366.60 --> 4367.88] And I haven't fact checked
[4367.88 --> 4368.72] This as well
[4368.72 --> 4369.80] But I'm told that
[4369.80 --> 4371.18] In most of the New Testament
[4371.18 --> 4373.66] Most of the evangelism
[4373.66 --> 4374.68] Was in response
[4374.68 --> 4375.84] To people seeing
[4375.84 --> 4377.14] Christians live their lives
[4377.14 --> 4378.08] In a distinctive way
[4378.08 --> 4379.70] And then asking questions
[4379.70 --> 4380.80] About why they're living
[4380.80 --> 4381.28] That way
[4381.28 --> 4382.12] And then the Christians
[4382.12 --> 4383.68] Have to speak about Jesus
[4383.68 --> 4384.70] Because people have asked
[4384.70 --> 4385.22] Them a question
[4385.22 --> 4388.18] That's my kind of evangelism
[4388.18 --> 4388.82] It's like you've lived
[4388.82 --> 4389.80] Such a distinctive life
[4389.80 --> 4391.20] People are asking questions
[4391.20 --> 4392.52] And then you have to talk
[4392.52 --> 4392.98] About it
[4392.98 --> 4394.38] Because you're living faithfully
[4394.38 --> 4395.60] That's a beautiful
[4395.60 --> 4396.60] Kind of evangelism
[4396.60 --> 4398.08] So words
[4398.08 --> 4398.92] Deeds
[4398.92 --> 4399.98] And here's a third thing
[4399.98 --> 4401.68] That I did not
[4401.68 --> 4402.64] Take seriously enough
[4402.64 --> 4403.40] Until I've gotten
[4403.40 --> 4403.92] A bit older
[4403.92 --> 4404.42] And that is
[4404.42 --> 4405.24] The shared life
[4405.24 --> 4405.82] Of the church
[4405.82 --> 4407.08] And part of why
[4407.08 --> 4407.68] I think this matters
[4407.68 --> 4408.14] So much
[4408.14 --> 4408.90] Is because I've seen
[4408.90 --> 4409.56] It be an essential
[4409.56 --> 4410.40] Part of conversion
[4410.40 --> 4411.76] In people within our church
[4411.76 --> 4412.78] It's one thing
[4412.78 --> 4413.64] To hear the gospel
[4413.64 --> 4415.02] You see it in some lives
[4415.02 --> 4416.62] But it's when you watch
[4416.62 --> 4417.66] The way Christians
[4417.66 --> 4419.24] Live with each other
[4419.24 --> 4420.78] That sort of gives
[4420.78 --> 4421.36] A clarity
[4421.36 --> 4422.18] About what this faith
[4422.18 --> 4422.74] Is all about
[4422.74 --> 4423.92] It's watching Christians
[4423.92 --> 4424.38] Worship
[4424.38 --> 4425.82] Watching us pray
[4425.82 --> 4426.46] Watching them
[4426.46 --> 4427.64] Take communion together
[4427.64 --> 4428.58] Share hospitality
[4428.58 --> 4429.24] In each other's homes
[4429.24 --> 4430.58] Just the ordinary life
[4430.58 --> 4430.96] We live
[4430.96 --> 4431.68] That catches people
[4431.68 --> 4432.02] Saying
[4432.02 --> 4432.78] Okay
[4432.78 --> 4434.20] There's something
[4434.20 --> 4434.90] Different here
[4434.90 --> 4435.94] This is different
[4435.94 --> 4436.26] Than the way
[4436.26 --> 4437.06] My family lives
[4437.06 --> 4437.52] Different the way
[4437.52 --> 4438.48] My workplace is
[4438.48 --> 4439.36] There's something
[4439.36 --> 4440.30] That's very different
[4440.30 --> 4441.00] About these Christians
[4441.00 --> 4442.30] And it's compelling
[4442.30 --> 4444.96] The words
[4444.96 --> 4446.04] The deeds
[4446.04 --> 4446.96] And the shared life
[4446.96 --> 4447.28] Of the church
[4447.28 --> 4447.86] When these things
[4447.86 --> 4448.48] Come together
[4448.48 --> 4449.50] It is a beautiful
[4449.50 --> 4450.76] Symphony
[4450.76 --> 4452.08] Of mission
[4452.08 --> 4454.56] It bears credible
[4454.56 --> 4455.04] Witness
[4455.04 --> 4456.70] To what Jesus Christ
[4456.70 --> 4457.34] Has done
[4457.34 --> 4458.52] It shows people
[4458.52 --> 4458.86] Hey
[4458.86 --> 4460.02] What we believe
[4460.02 --> 4460.50] About the death
[4460.50 --> 4460.98] And resurrection
