Today we continue to ask God to give us a passion for evangelism. This is a sacred calling that we have as His children. Today we will look at the question, why should we evangelize? I pray that your joy and desire to share the gospel would be increased today as we see what should motivate us in this great task.

What is sacred? God’s people have a sacred calling. Our sacred calling is to share the gospel. The sharing of the gospel is the most radical ministry we can have. This week we continue to be challenged and encouraged from the Scriptures to make the gospel and the proclamation of it the most important thing in our life.

What is sacred? God’s sacred people have a sacred calling. We learned a couple of weeks ago that we are called to care for the poor and afflicted. Last week we looked at our sacred calling to share the gospel. The sharing of the gospel is the most radical ministry we can have. This Sunday we will continue to look at the sacred call of God's people to be actively and continually involved in evangelism.

What is sacred? We learned a few weeks ago that the church is sacred. It is God’s holy people. God's sacred people also have a sacred calling. We learned the last two weeks that we are called to care for the poor and afflicted. This week we will continue to look at this sacred calling and find that our calling is never void of sharing the gospel. The sharing of the gospel is the most radical ministry we can have.

What is sacred? We learned a few weeks ago that the church is sacred. They are God’s holy people. God's sacred people also have a sacred calling. We learned last week that we are called to care for the poor and afflicted. This week we will continue to look at this sacred calling and find the great rewards to such a gospel-shaped life of giving.

What is sacred? We learned a few weeks ago that the church is sacred. It is God's holy people. God's sacred people also have a sacred calling.

On Sunday we will be looking at the sensitive issue of abortion. We will see why Scripture prohibits it, but our nation allows it. As a result nearly 1.5 million abortions occur on average each year in the states. Nearly 115,000 occur daily in the world (over 3,000 in the U.S.). It is a much quieter Holocaust and Vietnam war killing the most innocent of lives. We do not want to throw stones, for there is grace and mercy because of the cross of Jesus Christ, but we do want to share the truth that sets us free.

We live in a pluralistic society pointing people to many different ways to get to heaven. Scripture speaks of one sacred salvation that is available to all people. It is the only way, the only truth and the only life. Jesus is our salvation and hope of heaven. Today we expose Romans 10.1-13 to see the beautiful salvation that we have in Jesus.

As Paul closes his letter to the churches at Galatia we see his obsession. His obsession is the cross of Jesus. This is the thing he loves, reviles in, boasts in, rejoices in, and lives for. It is what he preached - its message, triumph, offense and wonder. It meant the world to him. It was truly his obsession. He considered everything else loss compared to it. What is your obsession?

We continue to pose this question as we gather this week: What is sacred? What is sacred to you? When you think of your time, your priorities and the different spheres of your life what is sacred? We will talk this week about God's sacred community, the church.
