Shoes of Zeal

What helps us cultivate a zeal for speaking of Christ? In 2004 Dr. John Dreisbach preached a sermon on Ephesians 6:15 explaining what it means to put on “shoes of zeal.” Paul’s example of being separated unto the Gospel (Romans 1:1), of not being ashamed of the Gospel (Romans 1:16), of experiencing woe if he did not preach the Gospel (1 Corinthians 9:16), and of knowing that the Gospel was hidden to those who are lost (2 Corinthians 4:3) constantly motivated him. We hope Dr. Dreisbach’s message from Ephesians 6 and his exemplary life will stir your evangelistic passion for sharing the Gospel.

This session highlighted the importance of the eternal Gospel to missions.
