1 Charlie Prior February 11, 2018 AM Service Romans 1:1-8, 13-17, John 1:17, 1 John 3:2, Ephesians 2:8, 1 Corinthians 1:22, Titus 2:11, 1 Peter 3:15, 2 Timothy 4:2, John 14:16,

2 When we come to God He announces us righteous just as though we had never sinned.

3 Jesus + nothing = Everything

4 Jesus + anything = Nothing

5 Serving is not starting at the bottom in the body of Christ, it is the top.

6 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

7 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

8 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

9 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

10 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

11 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

12 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

13 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

14 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

15 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

16 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

17 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

18 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

19 The gospel is the power of God unto salvation

20 The gospel is the power of God unto salvation

21 Grace contains the idea of kindness bestowed on un us what we did not deserve

22 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

23 The blesses the good but grace forgives the bad

24 Salvations means we are saved from the habit of sin

25 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

26 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

27 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

28 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

29 1. Debtor

30 Debtor one that owes or obligated

31 We are obligated to share the gospel to everyone

32 Our duty to share the gospel is not optional

33 2. Ready

34 You can only give out what you know

35 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

36 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

37 You have to be ready to share at any time.

38 God s Word changes lives, not our thoughts or feelings

39 The sower soweth the word.

40 It is important to sow the seed

41 The gospel will chip away at the hard heart and eventually it will manifest on the outside

42 Town criers proclaimed the message of the person that sent them

43 Town criers had to be bold and share to those where they were sent

44 It is our responsibility to deliver the message to all people.

45 3. Not ashamed

46 We don t have to be ashamed because we have the message

47 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

48 What belongs to Jesus belongs to us

49 It is only in the grace of God that there is any good news.
