Here is the tenth session in our multi-part series on internet evangelism.

In this session, we examine another passage which demonstrates the need for Christian community as a foundation for outreach — 1 John 4:12-14.

This is the eighth session in our multi-part video series on internet evangelism.

In this session, we look at Acts 2:42-47, another passage which demonstrates the need for Christian community as a foundation for effective outreach.

This is the seventh session in our multi-part video series on internet evangelism.

In this session, we look at another passage which demonstrates the need for Christian community as a foundation for effective outreach — Luke 10:1-9.

Here is the sixth session in our multi-part video series on internet evangelism.

In this session, we examine an important biblical principle of evangelism and begin a section of our series in which we will see how that biblical principle can and should be applied to internet evangelism. John 17:20-23 is the first passage we explore to learn more about this biblical principle.

Here is the fifth session in our multi-part video series on internet evangelism.

In this session, we address a common fear that can become a barrier to the effective use of the internet by the church. We then share several simple ways in which you can become involved in internet evangelism.

Here are some links to resources referenced in this video presentation:

• Sample Email Signatures
• Places to Submit Your Profile
• Evangelistic Websites
• Resources Section (for the Quotations Screen Saver)
• Ideas for Evangelistic Business Cards from The Web Evangelism Guide

Here is the fourth session in our multi-part video series on internet evangelism.

In this session, we share several examples of how the church has used technology throughout history and encourage the church today to make similar use of the internet to declare the gospel throughout the world.

Here is the third session in our multi-part video series on internet evangelism.

In this session, we examine the way in which first century Christian missionaries used the “agora” or the marketplace (the place where people gathered to buy and sell, exchange philosophies and ideas, interact socially, and obtain information) to declare the gospel. We also contend that the internet is the “agora” of today and that the church should be active in that marketplace, strategically using it to further God’s kingdom around the world.

Here is the second session in our multi-part video series on internet evangelism.

In this session, we briefly compare the circumstances which God had orchestrated in the first century to circumstances and events which we believe He is orchestrating today. This pattern presents a question for the church of the 21st century — will we take advantage of the circumstances and events which God is orchestrating to further God’s kingdom?

In the past, I’ve experimented a bit with video blogging on another blog I run (which is fairly dormant to be honest) — ProdigalGod.com. I have long wanted to create a series of videos on internet evangelism, and this post represents my first attempt at completing that project.

This is largely an experiment for me, and I recognize that the videos are not perfect. The video quality itself is better on this site than the quality of the videos on ProdigalGod.com because I used a Sony camcorder to create these videos (while the videos on ProdigalGod.com were created with a simple webcam — at least until I redo them with the camcorder). My “on-camera presence,” however, is just as “clunky” as it is on the ProdigalGod.com videos! And I know that the setup I have in my living room (it’s obvious my wife loves me a lot to put up with pushing the furniture around to make room for the v-screen and pvc pipe stand I’m using!) needs some work - the lighting especially.

Hopefully, these will improve over time. If you have any suggestions for better video blogging, please don’t hesitate to contact me — I would be more than happy to hear any feedback you might have!

I used software called Vlog It! to create the videos, and the videos are in Flash Video format and as such, require that you have the Flash Player installed.

This first session gives a little bit of background on me (primarily because I may upload these to GodTube and/or YouTube in the future so not everyone who sees them will know who I am) and also addresses ways in which God orchestrated circumstances and events in the first century to facilitate the spread of the gospel. I am purposefully keeping the sessions short so that they can be easily digested.

I was wandering around the Gospelcon Blog (the home of Gospel Communications’ annual internet ministry conference) this evening and was pleasantly surprised to see my name and this website mentioned in this article. The folks at Gospelcon were responding to the article just before this one, entitled Flawed Follow-Up or a Flawed Philosophy of Evangelism.

While I was flattered by the mention, I felt that they had misconstrued what I was trying to say, so I left a comment to attempt to clarify my thinking. If you’re interested, why not visit the article and add your thoughts there (or here if you prefer). While you’re over there, the Gospelcon Blog is well worth reading, so why not spend some time perusing their articles?
