Gospel Proclamation Begins With Burden
Big Truth:
Gospel Proclamation Begins With Burden
Romans 9:1-3; 10:1-2; Philippians 1:14
Bible Verse:
Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols. So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be there.
Big Ideas:
- Burden begins by seeing people from an eternal perspective.
- Burden grows as we personally encounter the worship of false saviors around us.
- Burden compels us to meet people where they are with the good news of the Gospel.
Bible Passage:
Acts 17:1-34Identity:
KNEEL – I AM AN AMBASSADOR
SERIES: GOD IS THE MESSAGE – I AM THE MESSENGER
The Kneel Year is an exploration of what it means to worship God with our all (Luke 10:26-28). Worship is not something that is limited to a service once a week, but instead occurs every day, in all of life. We are unceasing worshipers. Worship never stops, it only changes directions. In order to worship God with all of our heart, soul, strength, and mind, we must embrace our identity as image bearers. It is out of that identity that we can begin to live for God’s glory in all of life (Colossians 3:17).
Every student should know that:
- The gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ that brings salvation to sinners.
- Salvation comes by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
- Jesus followers have been trusted with the gospel in order to share it with others.
Every student should strive to:
- Share the gospel each month with at least one person who does not know Jesus.
- Practice sharing the gospel using multiple different tools or methods.
Every student should feel:
- Humbled that as believers we have been entrusted with the glorious gospel of our Savior.
- Satisfied in Jesus as the only true Savior
Every student should want:
- To grow in awareness of the false saviors they are tempted to put their hope in.
- To have a softened heart and love for people who are lost
- To take advantage of opportunities to share the gospel with people in their lives who need Christ
