Takeaways:
Joy for Gospel Boldness
- Everything that has happened to me here has helped to spread the Good News.
- Boldness for Jesus doesn’t mean we are belligerent with the gospel.
- The way we communicate a message can be just as important as the message itself.
- Boldness is taking action with the gospel in spite of the risk.
- For us, boldness might look like taking a relational risk. Speaking the truth in love.
Wrong Motives
- They preach with selfish ambition, not sincerely
- A judgmental attitude kills joy
- Focusing on the spread of gospel gives joy. Because it’s aligning with God’s heart.
Joy in Life or Death
- His life was centered on the gospel of Jesus Christ.
- The good news of the gospel is that we can have joy in life or in death. Because this life isn’t all there is. The next life is actually better!
- We can have joy amidst any situation. Because our joy is not dependent on our current circumstances. Our joy is rooted in Jesus.
Discussion Questions:
- Can you think of a time that you had a judgmental attitude towards another Christian or ministry? How did it affect your heart?
- Why do you think it is possible to have joy over the spread of the gospel in spite of wrong motives?
