Church notes - 25th May 2025

 25th

Acts 13:13 - 49

A Hard Sell


Romans 3:20 - 26

The answer of justification

We are saved for it.

Grace is unearned.


This is the why of what Paul is doing.


Revealing

The Kingdom of God.


So why do we find it so hard to evangelise?


Is it because we

- Are fearful?

- Lack confidence?

- Are terrified by possible rejection?


Compromise or Confrontation

A safe passage to mediocrity, or a dangerous route to getting the job done.


Paul was talking about radical transformation.


But there is no advance for the Gospel without confrontation.


There is no compromise, for Paul is

- Bold

- Prepared

- Equipped

- Assured

- And takes the Gospel further.


Revealing God's story through Scripture.

vs 17 - A chosen people

vs 19 - A promised land

vs 22 - A faithful king

Raised from the dead

Psalm 2


A plan for justification and redemption was not recognised.


By some

But what about...


A plan for both Jews and Gentiles

We must hear more!
