3 Ways the Gospel Comes to People
Manage episode 420447702 series 3236481
The gospel message is the same for all people - the message of God's saving work through Jesus. But the way the gospel comes to a person can vary widely.
In this bible text we see the gospel taking root in three diverse people: a successful businesswoman, a military veteran-turned security contractor, and a demonically oppressed slave girl.
Each of these people needed the life-giving power of Jesus; yet how they received it depended on their circumstances.
We see in this sermon that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to the coming of the gospel. As a church, a community on mission, we must be aware of how the gospel comes, and be willing to minister the gospel to people as we find them.
Plus there is hope - if you feel like an outsider, a non-religious type, but find yourself hungering after more - Jesus meets you where you are and draws you to himself.
