Title: An Unashamed Life

Text: Romans 1:16-17

Speaker: David Bartosik

BIG IDEA: Big Idea: Promoting the gospel is everything to Paul. This is the thesis of his letter. Paul is unashamed of the gospel because it is God’s unstoppable power to save. The more we grasp it, the less room there is for shame. Paul recognizes there is a growing community of faith in the most influential city.

• Though tempted to be ashamed, a growing appreciation of the Gospel removes shame.

• God’s power, not human effort, rescues us from sin and death.

• Salvation flows from God’s covenant promise - first to the Jew, the Gentiles, and continues to stretch across history to us today.
