One Gospel Minute

Why is it so difficult to leave the mistakes of our past behind? The gospel offers forgiveness and the hope of a new beginning through Jesus Christ. If God is willing to forgive our sins, why do we sometimes struggle to forgive ourselves?

What does it mean to be born of water and the Spirit? From Jesus' teaching to the beginning of the church, Scripture has much to say about baptism. Why, then, is it still a subject of controversy?

Jesus said, “Go.” But what does that command mean for each of us? The Great Commission is personal—and even what seems little can accomplish much when God is in it.

Jesus taught and lived a life of service. He did not simply observe the needs of others from a distance—He became involved.

In Mark 10:45, Jesus said that He “came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.” His example shows us that faith is not a drive-by experience. It is hands-on. It means serving, helping and becoming personally involved in the lives of others.

Want to grow your faith and your love for the Lord’s church? Be a servant. Get involved.

A Month in Minutes returns with every One Gospel Minute from September gathered into one continuous message.

Growing faith means learning to rely on God—even when life does not unfold the way we would choose. His ways and thoughts are higher than ours, and the difficulties we face can teach us patience, strength, and dependence on Him.

What does that kind of faith look like when suffering comes? The answer leads us toward one of the most important lessons a Christian can learn: contentment.

Faith can waver when we begin to feel as though we’re standing alone. But God’s work can still be seen if we’re willing to look.

Where can Christians find encouragement to keep going? Sometimes, the faithful examples around us are a reminder that we’re not as alone as we may think.

• “Alone”
• “Trials Dark on Every Hand”

Faith is meant to grow—but growth often comes through the challenges we would rather avoid. Moses could have allowed his limitations to keep him from faithful service, but instead, he faced the challenge and placed his confidence in the Lord. Christians today have that same assurance: God will not leave or forsake His people.
