Red Rocks Baptist Church Unknown

How did the early church respond to the first threats against their evangelistic preaching-- They asked the Lord to intervene by sharing the problem, seeking the Lord in prayer, and as a result were filled with the Holy Spirit who empowered them to continue speaking with all boldness.

Gospel rejection is a reality in gospel ministry. This tension prevents us from sharing the gospel and discourages us when we are rejected. How do we handle gospel rejection-- We must embrace it with the love Christ showed to us.

Christians have the privilege of introducing people to Jesus. With the Lord's help, we can overcome the fear, tension or awkwardness of introducing people to Jesus.

How did Jesus develop redemptive relationships-- Jesus is our greatest example in developing relationships with which to share the gospel. We must follows his example.

What result does justification have-- It results in a new spiritual life that is lived by faith through the believer's union with Christ.

Justification is by faith alone. When we understand the truth of the gospel more deeply, we can then live it out more completely and boast in our Savior more passionately.
