THE GOSPEL-DRIVEN LIFE
The prime directive of God is not a ”NO” but a “YES”. DO interfere! DO make a difference in the world!
DO tell others about God!
DO everything you can to change the world for good
and for God. That is the GOSPEL!
GO and make disciples . . . (Matthew 28:19 – Living Bible)
The first two letters of GOSPEL are
“GO”
UNDERSTANDING “THE GOSPEL”
We are called to tell everybody about God
Tell everyone about the amazing things He has done
. . . (Psalm 96:3 – Living Bible)
Tell the news of His glory to the lost . . .
(Psalm 96:3 – The Message)
Why do we “FAIL” to share the Gospel?
Fear Apathy Ignorance Laziness
This message we are to tell is called
“The Gospel”
GOSPEL = “Good News”
Jesus said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all
creation. (Mark 16:15 – New International
Version)
He told them, “You are to go into all the world and preachthe Good News to everyone,
everywhere!” (Mark 16:15 – Living Bible)
GOSPEL = GO TELL
The Gospel is good news because it tells
what Jesus did for us
I told you the most important part of the
message exactly as it was told to me . . .
Christ died for our sins, as the Scriptures say. He was
buried, and three days later He was raised to life . . . (1 Corinthians 15:3-4 – New International
Version)
FACT 1: Christ died
FACT 2: Christ died for our sins
FACT 3: Christ died
but He is lives again
Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be
saved. But how shall they ask Him
to save them unless they believe in Him?
And how can they believe in Him if they have never
heard about Him?
And how can they hear about Him unless someone
tells them? (Romans 10:13-14 – Living
Bible)
GOSPEL = God
GOSPEL = Offers
GOSPEL = Sinful
GOSPEL = People
GOSPEL = Eternal
GOSPEL = Life
WHAT IS THE “GOSPEL”?God Offers Sinful People Eternal Life
SHARING“THE GOSPEL”
QUESTION 1: How do we do it?
ONE VERSE EVANGELISM
For the wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God is eternal life
in Jesus Christ our Lord. (Mark 16:15 – New International
Version)
Sharing is my job!
QUESTION 2: Why do we do it?
For I am not ashamed of the Gospel. I see it as the very
power of God working for the salvation of everyone who
believes it . . . (Romans 1:16 – Philips Paraphrase
Version)
Saving is God’s job!
QUESTION 3: When do we do it?
We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned . . .
(Romans 1:16 – Philips Paraphrase Version)
Be ready to speak up and tell anyone who asks why
you’re living the way you are . . .
(1 Peter 3:15 – The Message)
Shining is our job!
You can’t spell JesUs and not include “U”
It takes “U” to spell crUcified
And this word resUrrection
is spelled with a“U”
That I love them all, just like I love“U”
But it all starts with
“U”
Let’s Pray
