#514: Not Ashamed of Jesus
The Big Idea:
Imagine being ashamed to speak about Jesus because we were more concerned about someone’s opinion of us, potentially someone we don’t even know. Yet, this happens all the time.
Main Points:
1. Christians have been told by our culture that we are not to share our faith in Jesus. It’s rude, inconsiderate, and even offensive to talk about Christ, or so we’ve been told.
2. I don’t share this to shame you for not being more bold for Christ, but to inspire you to ask God for more courage. It takes courage to speak up for Jesus. It takes courage to live your values in a public way. It requires courage to take a stand for God.
3. My prayer is that God would give us courage. Though we may face criticism, rejection, and opposition, may we be bold with this life-changing message of the gospel.
Today’s Scripture Verse:
Romans 1:16 - “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.”
Luke 9:26 - “Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.”
