Start conversations (3 mins.) INFORMAL PREACHING. Invite the person to the next special talk (lmd lesson 2 point 3).
Setting: The publisher meets an acquaintance in a café and they discuss the country's difficult situation, marked by violence and evil. He then shares a message of hope based on the Bible, which speaks about how to find peace and comfort. Finally, he invites the acquaintance to the upcoming special talk on the theme "A world without war is possible."
Publisher: Hello, [name]. It's nice to meet you at this cafe.
Assistant: Yes, I'm glad to see you too, [name].
Publisher: Thanks, [name]. I came to this coffee shop because I heard it was really good. Some friends who had been there before recommended it to me and assured me it had a nice atmosphere and good coffee, so I decided to come and try it and see if what they'd told me was true.
Assistant: I also like to come to this cafe from time to time to clear my mind a little, as the current situation in our country is very distressing. There's a lot of evil and violence. It's an issue that affects us all and makes us feel worried and anxious.
Publisher: You're right, [name]. The truth is, this is an issue that concerns us all. It directly affects our families. Violence and evil are impacting so many innocent people, and this is creating a climate of fear and anxiety in our society.
Assistant: Yes, it pains me to see how it affects our families and communities. It's a very serious issue that requires our attention and reflection.
Publisher: Yes, that's true. But did you know that the Bible gives us hope in the midst of this situation? It offers us a different perspective and helps us find peace and comfort in the midst of distress. This is something that has given me great strength and hope in these difficult times.
Assistant: No, I didn't know that, [name]. That sounds very interesting. I'd like to know more about it.
Publisher: Note what 2 Timothy 1:7 says: “For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and sound judgment.”
This verse reminds us that God gives us the strength to face these challenges with power, love, and sound judgment. It's a very encouraging reminder that helps us maintain hope and faith in the midst of difficulties.
Assistant: That's very encouraging, [name]. Thank you for sharing that with me. It's a message we really need to hear in these times.
Publisher: I'm happy to be able to share this hope with you and all those who are going through difficult times.
I'd also like to invite you and your family to a special talk we'll be hosting this weekend at 4 p.m. The theme will be "A World Without War Is Possible." This will help answer many questions many people are asking. It's an opportunity to reflect on this topic and find answers and hope.
Assistant: Yes, I'd love to attend. Thank you for the invitation.
Publisher: We look forward to seeing you.
