God made sure that those saved by His Son could have all the necessities of life and godliness. One of these necessities is to have the strength to overcome the hardship we face in life. Various experiences, difficulties in life, persecution, and direct attacks from the devil constitute the reality of believing people's lives on earth. To persevere through them and emerge victorious requires supernatural strength, which comes to us through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Gospel: The Power for Edifying Relationships

December 22, 2024 • Alexey Kolomiytsev • Romans 14:1—15:7

The gospel is the only sure means for us to build strong, edifying relationships. Human relationships are one of the most difficult areas of life. Since the fall into sin, people have been condemned to be in constant confrontation and conflict with one another. By sending Jesus Christ to earth, God, through Him, not only reconciles them to Himself, but also makes it possible for them to live harmoniously with one another. The key to such a life is in the gospel.

Gospel: The Motivation for Ministry

December 8, 2024 • Alexey Kolomiytsev • Romans 12:2–21

The gospel is not only the source of true ministry to God, but also its motivation, which gives the power to serve, overcoming difficulties and determining the essence and direction of ministry. Whenever ministry is motivated by something other than the gospel, it is deprived of God's power and God's arrangement, creating many difficulties.

Service is an expression of the life that God has born in the heart of the Christian. The gospel plays a vital role in how this life is put into practice. It becomes a conduit of God's power that makes us able to work tirelessly for Christ without expecting praise or grumbling. It always gives hope and motivation, making our ministry joyful regardless of external conditions.
