Evangelizing to Single Parents

One way to share the gospel with a single parent is understanding their reality.

Before we share the gospel, we need to understand the person.

Again, we need to understand the person.

Many single parents experience financial pressure, emotional exhaustion, feelings of guilt or failure, loneliness, fear about the future, limited time for themselves.

Again, our first ministry is not speaking, it's listening.

James 1, verse 19 reminds us, everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger.

When we listen, well, we earn the opportunity to speak truth with credibility.

we can provide for the single parents is meet practical needs first.

Jesus often met physical needs before addressing spiritual ones.

Ask yourself, can I babysit for an evening? Can I provide transportation? Can I provide a meal? Can I help with anything they might need? Can I invite them and a healthy Christian community? Can our church support their family? Love opens doors that arguments never will.

And love opens doors arguments never will.

When people experience the compassion of Christ through his people, they're often more receptive to hearing about the Savior.
