NOT ASHAMED
THE GOSPEL IS THE HOPE WE HAVE
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. Romans 1:16
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect…
1 Peter 3:15
This series is about being prepared and ready to share the truth of the gospel in our varying circumstances. Sharing the gospel boldly has nothing to do with our personality nor is it related to how fascinating our life story is. The gospel is about the power of God. It is about the work of Jesus Christ on the cross and what He has accomplished. It is not primarily about our story. It’s about God’s story. A story, a gospel we should never be ashamed of. The gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.
The intention for this series is to ground us in the big picture of the gospel as a story. This story is our framework by which we understand God, ourselves, our purpose for being here. This story is one that our story finds its place in. God invites us to participate int this story by being His witness, by proclaiming the gospel.
