I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel
We need not be ashamed
Pastor Tom

Romans 1:1–17
Christians sometimes have to deal with the shame caused by someone or something else. Sometimes, we’re ashamed because of the way another Christian acts. Their bad actions reflect on us. Sometimes, we have to deal with the shame cast upon Christianity because of something in history. Sometimes, we deal with shame because of the message of the Gospel.
Imagine yourself going about a normal activity on a weekday: at the office or job site, in class or hanging out with friends, at the playground, at a community meeting or sports event. Someone says “the Christian gospel is racist and intolerant.” Would you speak up? Would you identify yourself as a Christian?
