Faithfully Steward The Gospel
1 Corinthians 4:2
[2] Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful. (ESV)
Jesus-followers are not owners, we are
Romans 1:16–17
[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. [17] For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” (ESV)
Notes:
Four Reasons The Gospel Is Offensive:
1. The gift is free & undeserved
2. Our sin demands the death of Jesus
3. Only through Jesus
4. Only by the suffering & serving of Jesus
