The Urgency of the Gospel

Romans 15:22-24

This is the reason why I have so often been hindered from coming to you. 23 But now, since I no longer have any room for work in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to come to you, 24 I hope to see you in passing as I go to Spain, and to be helped on my journey there by you, once I have enjoyed your company for a while.

Today’s Truth

To Paul, preaching the gospel and planting churches are the focal points of his ministry. If spreading the "good news" and making disciples are not the focal points of our ministry, then what are we doing?

Discussion Questions

What "hindrances" in your life are preventing you from making disciples?
How can the community play a role in helping you share the gospel and pursue Christ?
Does your life reflect the overwhelming grace and love of Jesus?

About the Author

Chuck Adair

If you ask Chuck his favorite thing in life to do, he would tell you it is the teaching and preaching of the scriptures and to call all people to engage in the great adventure of abiding with Christ. He desires to connect people with the richness, adventure, and fullness of life that comes through Christ alone and to reach the unchurched, de-churched, dead-churched, and unmoved. Chuck is married to his best friend Kristin and has two adult children, Taylor and Linley. Kris and Chuck believe the quality of their marriage rises and falls, not on circumstances or feelings, but based on their daily abiding with Jesus (Jn 15.5).
