Embracing Evangelism: Bishop Ellie Sanderson on Becoming Peacemakers in God's Kingdom
Description:
Bishop Ellie Sanderson invites us on a journey of deep spiritual reflection on the nature of evangelism and our role in the spread of God's Kingdom. Rooted in Scripture and illuminated through practical spiritual tools, this talk delves into how we can move forward in our faith with a sense of purpose and peace. Focusing on the biblical concept of the "person of peace" from Luke's Gospel, Bishop Sanderson challenges us to discern where God is working in the world and how we can partner with Him. She encourages us to step out in faith, not from a place of obligation or guilt, but with a heart tuned to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Learn how to bring God's peace into every interaction, become bearers of His love, and engage in evangelism that transforms communities. Whether through passing or permanent relationships, this talk equips you to be present, proclaim the Gospel, and respond to God's call in your life.
