Presentation transcript:

“I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ!”

Key #1: Get to Know Your God! I need to be able to say, “God is mine! I know Him! And, I’m not ashamed!” I need to learn from David (Psalm 139, 145, etc.) Challenge: Get to know God by getting into His revelation and letting it get into me! When I know God, that He is mine, how could I ever be ashamed?

Key #2: Grow in Your Trust of God! I need to be able to say, “God is faithful! I trust Him! And, I’m not ashamed!” I need to learn from Paul (Acts 27:20-25) Challenge: Grow in my trust of God by learning to take Him at His word and not question Him or doubt Him! When I trust God, that He is faithful, how could I ever be ashamed?

Key #3: Grasp the Power of Your God! I need to be able to say, “God is able! I need Him! And, I’m not ashamed!” I need to learn from Abraham (Rom. 4:17-22) Challenge: Grasp God’s power personally by seeing His power at work in the lives of His people throughout history and realizing He is “for me”! When I grasp that God is able and how much I need Him, how could I ever be ashamed?

Key #4: Give Yourself Over to God! I need to be able to say, “God is unfailing! I surrender to Him! And, I’m not ashamed!” I need to learn from Moses (Heb. 11:24-27) Challenge: Give self over to God fully, realizing that nothing compares to Him (including me) and that He has never failed me or any of His people…ever! When I truly surrender myself to God, how could I ever be ashamed?
