Summary
Today we’ll explore the concept of evangelism. There are so many fears and misconceptions wrapped up in this topic, and my hope today is that we’ll simplify it, and get straight to the heart of the issue. As we assess our hearts, may we remain soft and open to the commands and will of God for us.
Our Scripture for today comes from Mark 16:15, and today's worship is Jubilee by Maverick City feat. Naomi Raine & Bryan & Katie Torwalt.

We are so excited to share our latest worship song, Coming Through, featuring Jeremiah Brinkley! Check it out on the various streaming platforms here or over at our YouTube channel, here!

What started as a daily email devotional in 2015 has grown into a worldwide movement of over 2.6 million men and women connecting with God every day through our app, First15 Worship, Primeros15, our Spanish-language platform, our podcast, and live and virtual events.
That’s millions of people encountering God’s presence — and being used by him to transform our culture.
Today, you can help fuel this movement by becoming a First15 Monthly Partner. The amount you give is up to you — just knowing you’re investing to impact more lives for Christ is what matters. Go to first15.org/monthlypartner to give now.

| 1:13.9 | scripture and escape God's command to share the gospel. You can't read through the New Testament |
| 1:20.8 | and discount the reality that the disciples gave themselves entirely to the point of death |
