scripture
Romans 1:14-17 (NIV)
I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish. 15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome. 16 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. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
KEY MESSAGE TAKEAWAYS
We are all called to be witnesses for Jesus, sharing what we have seen and heard.
Preaching the word doesn't just mean formal sermons; it includes any presentation of God's truth.
We should be prepared to share the gospel "in season and out of season" - at all times and in all places.
The early church in Acts consistently preached the word wherever they went, leading to growth and transformation.
God promises to show up when we step out in faith to share His message.
Discussion Questions
What does it mean to you to be a "witness" for Jesus in your daily life?
The sermon mentioned the quote "Preach the gospel at all times, and if necessary, use words." How do you balance showing the gospel through actions and actually speaking about it?
