I (Brian) just returned from the Together for the Gospel conference in Louisville, KY. It was great to meet up with old friends, friends from old, other pastors from Canada, and other pastors who are unashamed for the gospel.
Unashamed enough to take the gospel back to the churches where they preach and to make church life, to make Christianity, and to make their personal lives founded on the good news of Jesus- the good news of Jesus dying in place of sinners like you and me for our due penalty for the wrong things we have done, thought, desired, and said; Jesus dying in our place, taking our condemnation, taking our sin, taking God’s wrath, and having it rain down on Jesus instead of us; then Jesus rising 3 days later from the grave showing that death could not hold him and Jesus now calling those who would follow him to turn from our sin and turn to Jesus for life, for godliness, for forgiveness, for salvation- that good news of Jesus.
I firmly believe that when the good news of the gospel really is good to us, that it will be evident in our speech, in our actions, and in our desires. Christians, be Unashamed for the gospel.
Just to get your appetite going a little, here is one of the videos we watched to encourage us to be unashamed. There are more to watch than just this one.
The content of each message was fantastic. Each message fed my soul in fantastic ways. If you have 10 hours, I would encourage you to listen to the speakers, for there is about 10 hours to speaking. But if you have only one hour, and you want that hour to powerfully transform your life, for you to hate your sin much, much more, for you to love your Saviour even more, than listen to Lig Duncan’s message on the Gospel by Numbers. You can listen it here.
I am really looking forward to sharing more with you in the coming months. For now, be unashamed brethren.
