2024 THEME: Run with the Horses

SERIES: WELCOME HOME…where…

TITLE: The Gospel is Preached

Scripture: Col. 1:3-14; I Cor. 1:18-31; Rom. 1:16-17

I. THE MANDATE BEFORE US

What does the mandate do?

1. 1. 1. 1. It gives us something to (pray) and (rejoice about).
         2. It (bears fruit).
         3. It (spurs growth).

The goal of the Gospel is not just that we might pass some kind of test by accurately recounting
the importance of Jesus. The goal of the Gospel is to produce a type of people consumed with
passion for God and love for others.

II. THE MATURITY WE REALIZE

Evidence of maturity:

1. 1. 1. 1. Our desire is to (please Christ).
         2. Our desire is to do (God’s will).
         3. Our desire is to experience (God’s freedom).

God is not going to rewrite the Bible for your generation. Stop trying to change Scripture when
it’s written to change you.
