Week 27 - The Gospel

Mark 1:1

“The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.”

Acts 20:24

 “But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.”

Romans 1:16

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jews first and also to the Greek.”

Galatians 1:6-9

“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.  But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.  As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.”

Ask yourself two questions:

1. If you claimed Romans 1:16 for your life, would your friends and family have enough evidence to defend your claim?
2. What practical steps can you take to make Acts 20:24 a reality in your schedule this week?

Romans 1:16

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.”
