Introduction:
One thing I don’t want to take for granted is that we all know what the work of God is.
It is very easy for us to throw around terms like ministry, winning the lost, and the gospel; but do we fully understand the message that we are proclaiming.
In short, the work of God is the redemption of mankind and salvation from the condemnation of sin.
How does God redeem the world from his sin?
How does God give grace when a man doesn’t deserve that grace?
How does God’s redemption change a person to walk with God?
What is God doing with Israel today?
How am I supposed to live now because of this message?
We will find the answers to all of these questions and many more as we study the book of Romans.
Some of you will discover a salvation in the pages of this book that you have never known and you will have the opportunity to receive it.
Others of you will finally understand exactly what God did for you and to you when you received His salvation.
And some of you will make this message an active part of your life, because you will see the mission of God.
God has given us the greatest message and ministry that the world has every seen.
When you understand the gospel there is nothing more important.
When you understand the gospel there is nothing more powerful.
Franklin Gram, “There is only one thing powerful enough to transform hearts and lives from the inside out and to deliver us from the penalty and power of sin—it is the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
What makes us feel ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ?
Franklin Gram, the founder of Samaritans purse said,
“There is only one thing powerful enough to transform hearts and lives from the inside out and to deliver us from the penalty and power of sin—it is the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”

So why wouldn’t we be overwhelmed and overjoyed to share this beautiful message of the gospel.
What makes us feel ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ?
The Problem
The Problem
A lack of comprehension: misunderstandings.
What if someone asks me a question?
What if I don’t say the right things?
What if I mess it up?
A lack of courage: missed opportunities.
The Spirit is willing but the flesh is week.
I don’t speak well.
Who am I that God would use me.
A lack of consistency in your walk: misdirection.
My walk is saying something different than my talk.
“Don’t follow me as I follow Christ.”
I need to fix some things first.
People who know the real me would not follow me.
A multitude of compounding pressure: misleading.
There are so many beliefs out there.
“He seams smarter than I am.”
They think and talk faster than I do.
“I don’t feel I’m equipped to defend God.”
A compromised past: mistakes.
You will never share God’s love until you are able to receive God’s love.
God would never use someone that has done what I have done.
So let’s dive in and discover what it means to live “Unashamed” for the Gospel.
