3. Winning Souls for Christ
★ Luke 15:6-7

→ It is not the job of only the Pastors
→ Anytime you win a soul for Christ, there is joy not only in your heart, but in heaven (Luke 15:7)

→ It is not possible for you to cause joy in the lives of others and to God Himself and your heart will be deficient in joy
→ Those who win souls are wise (Proverbs 11:30 and Daniel 12:3)
→ You must always use every opportunity to preach the gospel
→ If You want to experience unending joy in your life, then you must be consistent in preaching the Gospel of Jesus
→ Every Christian is called to be a soul-winner
→ Your greatest preaching is by your character
→ There are so many things you can do to win souls to Christ
