Romans 1:16-17 (NASB)

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Gospel = Good News!

The Gospel is NOT the entire Bible

The Gospel is designed to save lost souls

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

1 Corinthians 15:1-8 (NASB)

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Gospel only has 2 essential elements:

Christ Died for my sins - as evidenced by the fact He was buried

Christ Rose from the dead - as evidenced by many who witnessed Him

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paul was not ashamed of the gospel because it is the POWER of God!

There is nothing else that can offer salvation - 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 and

1 Corinthians 1:18; 22-24 (NASB)

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

II. Paul was not ashamed of the gospel because of it’s ability to save anyone!

A. It is true that there is only one road to heaven

-Acts 4:12 (NASB)

-John 14:6 (NASB)

________________________________________________________________________

B. Paul was focused on the fact that the gospel has the power to save

anybody!

-“Jews and Greeks”= everybody!

- religious and irreligious, male and female, old and young, rich and poor.

slaves and slave owners, educated or illiterate!

-1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NASB)

________________________________________________________________________

C. Revelation 7:9 offers a beautiful picture of the diversity of God’s

family!

III. Paul was not ashamed of the gospel because it is founded upon God’s

righteousness, NOT self righteousness!

A. We can be glad that our salvation doesn’t depend on our ever-changing

personal righteousness

B. The gospel reveals God’s righteousness by faith

1. From “faith to faith” means by faith from start to finish

2. God is righteous in declaring guilty sinners NOT GUILTY and worthy

of eternal life because of their faith in the perfect and unchanging

righteousness of their Savior, Jesus Christ!

_______________________________________________________________________

Romans 5:6-10 (NASB)

_______________________________________________________________________

C. Biblical Christianity is unique from other faiths because our salvation does

NOT depend upon what we have done for God, BUT on what He has

done for us!

-Romans 4:5 (NASB)

-Titus 3:5 (NASB)

-Ephesians 2:8-9 (NASB)

Jesus paid a debt He did not owe, because we owed a debt we could not pay!

THAT’S GOOD NEWS!!

The Image of God in Motherhood

May 12, 2024 • Max Litovchenko

Outline: God's Image is Reflected in Motherhood Through... 1) SACRIFICE 2) SUSTENANCE 3) SYMPATHY Application: • Mom’s, who or what is your greatest inspiration for motherhood? Do you look to God for the inspiration, strength, and power to love and care for your kids? • Does your life continue to be marked by self-sacrifice for your children and others? • Do you strive to provide well for the physical needs of those under your care? Are you nourishing your children with the pure milk of the word? Are you ensuring that their souls are being fed? • Are you caring for and loving your children like God is? Do they know what His embrace feels like through your life? • Do you feel privileged or burdened by your calling? Do you complain or rejoice at this glorious gift that God has given you? • Do you recognize that God has designed you uniquely and intricately with his very image, to display and reflect his character? What does that look like in your life today? • Have you experienced the sacrificial, sustaining, and compassionate nature of God in your life?

True community is central to the life of the church ◦ Assume the worst not the best ◦ Reject performance and be real ◦ Commit to people as the most important investment of your life 3. True community is for the world Questions: • Do you feel a deep sense of belonging to the church family? Is your heart wide open to the church family in your life? What are the barriers to that? • Do you enjoy the church? Do you strive to make it a place that others enjoy as well? • Do you see yourself as someone who is actively building the life of the church?
