THE COMMAND TO THE BUS MINISTRY:
                                                     
                                                         SERMON OUTLINE

                                                              LUKE 14:7 -26

                      "Life's greatest romance is winning souls to the Lord Jesus Christ"

                                             "There is no practically in the Bus Ministry"

introduction;
  This scripture is not a message to the church as some would believe,the house that is
mentioned is the church, the message is to a individual servant. some  people use it,as
though He is speaking to the church as a whole but He wasn't. just like in Mr 16:15  And he
said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He was not
speaking to the church He was speaking to and individual. So the bus ministry is really a
commandment to the individul servant to go into the highways and hedges and win the lost.
so I say again That Life's greates romance is winning souls to Jesus Christ.
     
                                         
I. THE PURPOSE OF THE BUS MINISTRY:                                

       (a) Luke 19:10 Jesus said I (not the church) have come to seek and to save that which is
lost.I Tim 1:15 " This is a faithful saying"

      (b) He came to give you, power to evangelize, your neighborhood, and the world.             

       (c)He must have the preimance in all things.                                                                       

     (d) He came to establish His Church, His Church is a hospital 36 in from hell.

II.  THE PLACE OF THE BUS MINISTRY:                                                                                   

(a) Any place there are people. The highways and hedges, V-24                                            

(b)  You do not have to pray about soul winning.                                                                      

(c)   Notice the commandments here. V-17 He asked them to "Bid them to come                    

(d)   In V-21 He applied a little pressure, "Bring them in"                                                           

(e)   V-23  He commanded them to "COMPEL THEM"                                                           

(f)    Notice the place he told them to go,the streets and lanes of the City.

III. THE PERSONAL  OF THE BUS MINISTRY.                                                                            

(a) This is no play ground, He commands all christians to be a witness for him.                          

(b) You don't have to be a professional,or polished or educated to be a servant                            
    Just know your master and be surrendered to serve Him.                                                   

(c) Acts 8:26 Phillip Knew his master, he had seen the crucified Christ.                                     

(d) Sending labours will be done by God, you can not pick them.                                               

(e)  Matt. 9:38 He is the Lord of the Harvest.

IV.   THE PROSPECTS OF THE BUS MINISTRY:

                (a) Children are the most likely.                                                                                               

(b) V-23 and V-13 The poor, the blind, the maimed and the halt, they are the ones                         
Jesus said to go and get, that my house may be filled.                                                          

(c)  Anyone,anytime,anywhere, you can pick them up.                                                              

(d)  Our field is the world, Our Jerusalem is your home ,start there.                                            

(e)   It will cost you something to be in the Bus Ministry, And you will get just what                       
   you pay for. Your salvation cost somebody something, Jesus Gave his life.

   To be a bus captain,drive a bus,teach a Sunday school class, or go visitation, will cost you
something, count the cost see if you are willing to pay the price before you start. for once
you make a vow, there is no peaceful way out.
