It's a good time of year to think about freedom. Liberty. Independence. But as believers in Christ, we must focus on what we are freed FOR, not just what we are freed FROM. And those things are often at odds with western society's notion of freedom. Let's take a look at what freedom means in the context of the great commission!

There are hundreds -perhaps thousands- of outreach programs and evangelistic strategies to help us reach the lost. But there is no more effective evangelist than men and women who simply know their Lord. What we must do, once we know Him, know His promises, and know His commands, is PREACH! It's not enough to know; you have to let people know you know!

Jesus spent three years pouring His life into the disciples, especially the Twelve. Of course, Jesus knew they still had more to learn, but He told them to go into the world and start preaching. He didn't tell them to wait until they had all the answers, until the New Testament was written, or anything like that. But He DID tell them to wait for one thing... and that one thing would change everything...

In recent weeks we have labored to understand that our salvation rests SOLELY on our faith-filled response to the finished word of Christ. But as we grow in Him, we need to sink our teeth into the meat of the word, and that means taking His commandments seriously.

There is more to "Live the Gospel" than walking in the blessings of the covenant, which we talked about last week. Obedience is still required, even though we are no longer under the law. Jesus said that if we love Him, we will keep His commandments. But there is another aspect to obedience, and it is absolutely wrapped up in evangelism.

Words play a crucial role in determining outcomes, as highlighted throughout God's word. We are encouraged to declare our identity in line with the truths of scripture. Pastor Mike emphasizes faith's role in overcoming challenges. Tonight, we also discuss the significance of testimony and the authority in speaking God's promises. As well as stressing the impact of words on our reality.

What does it mean to "live the Gospel"? Part of it is to recognize what God has promised (remember: the Gospel is "good news"!) and learn to enjoy the blessings of the relationship we have with Him through Christ. We have a responsibility to know what is promised to us, and to do what is necessary to appropriate those promises.

Everything we do and preach as believers in Christ must be grounded in what we believe, and what we believe must be grounded in scripture. In order to prepare ourselves to respond to the great commission, we need to examine some of the key beliefs we profess as a church.

We all have the opportunity to hear from God. And many of us would say we desire to. But once we DO hear from Him, then what? We need to think through the appropriate response to revelation from the Lord. How do we position ourselves to receive it, and how do we steward it WHEN received?

Our vision statement at Living Word is "Live the Gospel; Preach the Gospel". Before we live it and preach it, though, we need to know it. What is the Gospel, and what does it mean to live it?

Before He ascended, Jesus gave His disciples what is known as The Great Commission. There are details in the great commission worth exploring, but if you had to distill it down into three words, those three words would be "Preach the Gospel". We are beginning a new series that I believe God is going to use to fill us with a renewed passion to reach the lost, and we are going to start with a fresh look at "Live the Gospel, Preach th...

It is vital for believers to understand the sufficiency of Christ's finished work on the cross. If we don't, we will struggle all our lives trying to be good enough, trying to do enough, and forever falling short. Once we begin to grasp the nature of the victory Jesus won, though, we can serve Him confidently, joyfully, and effectively!
