The Gospel Sends Us Out (Acts 1, 2, 9, and 29)

This Sunday will be our final week in our current series, “What the Gospel Does.” So far, we’ve heard:

  • The Gospel Comes to Us

  • The Gospel Changes Us

  • The Gospel Brings Us In

And this week, we’ll hear:

  • The Gospel Sends Us Out

Evangelism (a.k.a. sharing our faith, witnessing, being on mission, living as ‘sent ones’) is often an intimidating thing for many of God’s people. There are, no doubt, many reasons for this. If you find yourself wishing you were better equipped to engage others or bolder in testifying to Jesus’ work in your life, you’re not alone.

In fact, if you’ll recall, you are part of a family. You have many brothers and sisters. You don’t live your Jesus-following life alone. It’s not just you and me who are sent out by God, but us.

Remember that when you have the opportunity to speak of God’s grace.

  • Remember how the Gospel came to you.

  • Remember how the Gospel changed you.

  • Remember how the Gospel has brought you into the church – gave you a family.

Remember all of that as you carry the gospel with you in your normal, rarely-flashy, everyday life. God is with you and He wants to be with others through you.

Believe that as the Gospel sends us out!

Grateful for my sent-out siblings,
Pastor Tim

So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

- Acts 1:6-8
