We pray that whenever Steve, Lee or the speaker opens their mouth, words may be given him so that he will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which he is an ambassador in chains. We pray that the preaching may be declared fearlessly, as it should.
(Ephesians 6:18-20, NIV).
We also pray … that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.
(Colossians 4:3, NIV).
The farmer sows the word. (Mark 4:14, NIV)
Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—thirty, sixty or even a hundred times what was sown.” (Mark 4:20, NIV).
We have been looking at Romans. Previously we have looked at Genesis, Proverbs, Mark and Matthew.
In proverbs we have seen that Jesus shows us there is very much a right way to behave towards each other and a wrong way.
In Mark we have seen the greatness of the gospel message and how it should be central to the life and teaching of the church. |
