Week 10: An Invincible Church: Persecution of the Apostles

Day 3
Romans 1:16-17

Why is the Church so powerful? It's not because of the people. Some individuals can command a crowd or get things done politically. But the power of the Church doesn't come from strong personalities; it comes from the gospel itself. You may feel weak or inadequate when trying to share the gospel, but you don't have to. The gospel is powerful all by itself. When you're witnessing to others, concentrate more on the gospel and less on you shortcomings. They're not as limiting as you might think. When our lives and our churches are committed to Christ, we don't need to be ashamed of anything.
Have you ever been ashamed of the gospel? Why?
How does this passage give you confidence to share your faith?
