Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Today, we're coming to the final day of learning an easy-to-remember, hard-to-forget Gospel presentation. We’ve been using the five fingers of our hand as our learning aid. Picture the smallest finger on your hand - it's going to represent faith. Grace, Man, God and Christ, Faith. Faith, in a Biblical sense, is the means whereby people make a personal response to the Gospel. Saving faith isn’t simply head knowledge about Jesus. Many know about Jesus, but have never experienced saving faith. Saving faith is also not just “temporary faith,” trusting in Jesus for health, safety, finances. Saving faith is trusting in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life, and it's necessary for salvation. In the book of Acts, the apostle Paul was asked, “What must I do to be saved?” His answer was this: “Believe – have faith – in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved…” You can watch a brief video demonstrating the Gospel presentation on our website, where you can find resources to help you share your faith.

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Today, we are going to learn an easy-to-remember Gospel presentation. Our pattern to share the Gospel is based on five main words – Grace, Man, God, Christ, and Faith and we are pairing each one with a finger of our hand as a learning aid. Today we’ll focus on the fourth word - picture your ring finger and think of the Bridegroom because today’s word is CHRIST. Jesus Christ is both God and Man. John’s Gospel opens with this emphasis, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God…And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” While Jesus had many great accomplishments, there’s no doubt about His most important: He died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin…and rose from the dead to prove He has purchased a place in Heaven for us. This gift is received by faith. You can visit sharelife.today to view a video demonstrating the Hand Presentation of the Gospel. That’s sharelife.today.

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

This week, we’re learning an easy-to-remember Gospel presentation. And we’re using the five fingers of our hand as a learning aid. Today we’ll focus on Word #3 – God, and picture your middle finger – the longest, greatest finger representing the greatest being in all the universe which we know to be God. Of the many aspects of God’s character, we’ll emphasize two: First, God is MERCIFUL and doesn’t want to punish us. The Bible tells us that “God is love.” But the same Bible that teaches us that He is love, also teach us that He is JUST and He cannot tolerate our sin. In Exodus 34:7, God says, "By no means will I clear the guilty." This presents a problem. Notice that I did not say God has a problem. The problem is ours. For God’s solution to our problem, we’ll turn our attention tomorrow to Word #4 – CHRIST. God solved our problem through Jesus Christ!

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

This week we’re learning an easy to remember Gospel presentation. We’re using the five fingers of our hand to remember five Gospel words – one each day. Yesterday was GRACE – and we used our thumb pointing toward Heaven to remember that Heaven is free…not earned or deserved. Today, we’re using our second finger, our pointer finger for the second word – MAN – meaning the entire human race. The Bible clearly states that man is a sinner and cannot save himself. “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” are the words of Romans 3:23. Sin is anything that falls short of God’s perfect standard. An action, a word, a thought, an attitude…and because we are sinners, we cannot save ourselves. But the Gospel is Good News! There is a way to be saved, but it’s not man’s way…it’s God’s way. We're in great need of His grace to cover our sins! You can visit sharelife.today and view the Gospel “Hand” presentation video.

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

How would you like to learn an easy to remember, hard to forget Gospel presentation? Using the five fingers of your hand, we’re going to put one word to each finger. The five words are GRACE, MAN, GOD, CHRIST and FAITH. We’ll look at one word for each day this week. Word number one is GRACE – picture your thumb pointing toward Heaven. Grace, heaven, eternal life, is a gift. Romans six twenty three says, “the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” And, like any gift, it is not earned or deserved. The Bible tells us that we’re saved through faith, not works. What a relief! Every other religion teaches that people must earn their way to Heaven, but not Christianity. Christianity alone proclaims that God’s favor and entrance into heaven are absolutely free to us because of Jesus' sacrifice. So, word number one of the Gospel is GRACE. And we need it desperately.

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

“Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah, Pilgrim through a barren land.” The late Dr. D. James Kennedy would say these very words every morning before his feet hit the ground. In this season where we're making resolutions and goals for the next year, we need to ask ourselves...are we relying on the guidance of God? There are many snares, temptations, and difficulties out there. We desperately need Him and His direction! The Bible says in Proverbs, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path." God keeps His promises! All He asks from us is that we trust Him. So before you write down your newest resolution, let me encourage you—pray for God's leading in your life. He will begin to give you opportunities to serve and love Him like never before—and through those, you can have opportunities to trust Him and share the Gospel with others.

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Happy New Year! Do you realize that God has already made amazing plans for you in 2026? Now, you may be running around, living life day to day — juggling a thousand tasks. Your daily life may seem busy and unorganized; you may not seem like you have a plan for tomorrow, much less a new year; but in reality, God has a very good plan for your life. In fact, the Lord says He plans for you to prosper and to give you hope and a future! And that hope that He gives propels us into prioritizing meaningful things, like putting our trust in Him for the harder times and sharing our faith with others. God has a purpose for each and every person; and we, as believers, should share that truth with everyone we that we meet. So, today, believe that the Lord has great purpose for your life and resolve to tell others about Jesus. For help in sharing your faith, visit our website at sharelife.today.

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

On this New Year’s Eve, we all wait with bated breath to welcome in the new year at midnight. And for most people, this is a special time… a restart, a refresh, a reset. And it's a time when we can think deeply of our purpose for the next year. So let me ask you one of the most important questions that I’ve ever heard...What are you living for? What is the purpose of your life? Did you know that God calls us to examine ourselves; and then, He gives us specific things in His Word that we’re created us for! The last commandment that Christ gave was that we were to go and make disciples to all nations. He also challenges us to be salt and light—salt in that we keep the culture from utterly corrupting; light in that we bring into the darkness of men’s mind the light of the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. If these are areas you want to grow in this next year, we'd love to help. Visit our website at sharelife.today. That’s sharelife.today.
