Daily Devotions

Acts 5:42, “Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.” Preaching the gospel (aka, “the good news”) of Jesus Christ is the central theme of the entire book of Acts. The name “Acts” comes from the shortened name,…

2 Timothy 2:8, “Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel.” Jesus Christ is the beginning and the end of the gospel and He fills every part of it. If I could summarize the gospel in just one word it would be, “Jesus.” There has never been any person like…

Isaiah 53:5, “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” The gospel, which is, the good news concerning God’s glory and humanity’s salvation by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ, didn’t start…

Mark 4:14, “The farmer sows the word.” The four responses to the gospel are based on the four kinds of hearts Jesus mentioned in Mark 4:13-20, which are; (1) Rejection: from a hard unbelieving heart, (2) Backsliding: from a shallow heart, (3) Sinful: from a heart overwhelmed with sin and (4) Acceptance: from a believing and…

Revelation 15:4, “Who will not fear you, Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.” The God of the gospel is both fully loving and completely holy. Some people choose to focus only on one attribute; however,…

The most important aspect being…

Mark 1:14-15, “14 After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. 15 “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news.” The gospel message will never change, but the methods in which it is shared can vary from…

John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” The four main parts of the gospel are God, man, Jesus Christ and faith. (1) God: Created man (with free will possessing the power of “self-identity & freedom”)…

1 Corinthians 9:16, “For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel.” The penalty for not sharing the gospel is woe, intense sorrow and shame on the day Jesus judges His church. Paul, like Jesus, was a grace and truth…

Romans 10:14, “How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them.” The gospel has been ordained by God to be spread by disciples preaching to the lost. The…
