Behind The Message EP4 - John and Prayer

August 24, 2020

During this week’s Behind The Message, Pastor Daniel & Jennifer further unpack this past weekend’s sermon and prayer service discussing personal evangelism and perseverance in prayer. Two special guests join them to share their testimonies about personal evangelism and also teach us how to say a couple phrases in a foreign language. You don’t want to miss this episode of BTM!

Big Truth:
Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. 

John 1:29
The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

Big Ideas:
The world is sinful. Be Burdened.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)

Jesus is the only Gospel. Make known.
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

Separated from Jesus the wrath of God remains. Go.
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
