Expanded Sermon Notes from 6/24/2011

When I got home from church on Sunday I glanced at the sermon notes that had been included in the worship folders given out for people to follow along. I realized to my disappointment that I had not listed the supporting passages for the outline. The more I have thought about Sunday's message on "Critical Perceptions for Effective Witnessing," the more I realize how significant this message is for the future of our evangelistic passion and fruitfulness. I've included the outline below for people to use as they listen to the message again (www.sermon.net/crosspointac) and look up and study the supporting passages.
