Pastor Scott concluded the series-within-the-series on Sunday about Jesus' evangelism, and what we can glean from it. Honesty is the key when sharing the gospel. If we only share that God is love and we need to love, we are leaving out the just character of God, as well as holiness.
Sometimes we think we know who "might be a good Christian" and we spend much time trying to help them accept Christ--when in reality we need to spread the gospel, to whomever we can, and leave the rest with God. God didn't choose people based on their talents or social status.
We not only need passion, confidence, and urgency, while sharing the gospel--we need courage. Pastor Scott continues the Evangelism mini-series in the Book of Luke.
Part Two of Pastor Scott's three-sermon series on Jesus, the Evangelist.
Pastor Eric gets us going in the New Year with one of the most asked questions - "Why do bad things happen to good people?" Take a listen to hear what the Bible has to say about it.
Jesus wanted his disciples to be prepared for His return, someday - and he gave them four simple metaphors to try to understand what He was saying. Pastor Eric helped us understand if there was any application for us, as well.
When we try to look perfect on the outside to people, we are on the fast track to hypocrisy(we need to fear God, not man). Jesus taught the disciples about this principle in this chapter of Luke, and Pastor Scott then taught us, as well.
The Pharisees were the definition of "religious". Jesus gave them an earful about how their priorities were wrong. We can learn much from this passage!
To be blessed by God, we need to hear and be obedient to His Word. Pastor Scott takes us through the next section of Luke, where this is taught.
