The David Spoon Experience 1-9-24 part 2

1) Phenomenal praise testimony by Veronica, a new caller as well as prayer requests, and multiple praises throughout the show. This is the kind of encouragement that God desires you and I share in order to support one another. You should listen. It will bless you thoroughly.

2) We've arrived at one of the most significant verses in the New Testament, comparable to John 3:16. This was the first sermon I preached, and I hope it will be my last when that time comes. "For I am not ashamed." Nor should you be, nor should we ever be, even when our brother or sister stumbles. We are not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ because this good news is eternal and will always remain good.

3) The gospel is the power of God, not our presentation of it or the embellishments we try to add. It has nothing to do with the eloquence of speech and everything to do with what God does for the listeners. The scripture makes it clear that it is available to everyone who believes, first to the Jew and then to the Gentile. This gospel is how we reconcile our relationship with God in His sight, not ours. It doesn't matter what we think; what matters is what God thinks.
