Subhead: Sharing the gospel is for “those evangelists", right?
Intro: Have you ever been so infatuated with someone or something that you couldn’t help but tell others about it? When we think about the message of Hosea and/or this thing we’ll wrap up with today out of Acts, I wonder why I don’t feel that way more often.
Bible segment
Hosea 11-14, NIV (New International Version)
Apologetics segment
Yesterday we observed what happens when the gospel is proclaimed boldly. Today we see four reasons why we should continue speaking the gospel boldly:
We’re partnered with Holy Spirit
Together we offer the only way of salvation
We have “been with” Jesus
We can’t not tell what Jesus has done for us. (1)
Take action segment
We are all called to be ambassadors, but each of us is in a different situation. Challenge yourself today, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to push a little past your comfort zone into the “Trust Him” zone.
Your personal prayer-reading for today: Psalm 124.
Love you!
