Why We Should Share The Gospel: Biblical Motivations for Sharing the Gospel

Have you ever been called a Pharisee? Have you ever called someone one? In this sermon, we examine the specific failings of the Pharisees as recorded in Mark 7, seeing that their primary error wasn't doctrinal concern but the elevation of man-made traditions over God's commands. -Notes: https://pastormarksbury.blogspot.com/2026/10/maybe-youre-pharisee-mark-7113-series.html -Livestream: https://lwbcfruita.org/live -Donations: https://www.lwbcfruita.org/give

This sermon examines Christ's prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane to illustrate the necessity of surrendering personal will to God's purpose in evangelism. The message emphasizes that effective ministry requires a life of earnest prayer, seeking God's specific will through obedience and fasting, and embracing the reproach of Christ as a living sacrifice. By contrasting the impossibility of the Great Commission with the power of faith, listen along as Brother Josh Hower encourages believers to overcome practical limitations and spiritual apathy. The tone is convicting yet comforting, highlighting God's compassion and the enabling strength He provides to those who trust in His sovereignty. Ultimately, the sermon calls the church to adopt the attitude of 'not my will, but thine be done' in their pursuit of souls.

The sermon explores the dichotomy presented in 1 John 3, asserting that humanity is divided into two distinct families: the family of God and the family of the devil. It emphasizes that true believers are identified not merely by profession but by a regenerated nature that produces righteousness and a hatred for sin, whereas those in the devil's family remain characterized by habitual lawlessness and indifference to God's commands. The text distinguishes between the occasional lapses of a believer and the habitual practice of sin, arguing that the latter reveals a lack of genuine conversion. By examining the origin of sin in the devil and the purpose of Christ's manifestation to destroy the works of the evil one, the message calls for discernment in identifying true faith through the fruit of the Spirit and a life oriented toward holiness.
