Sermon: Cross Cultural Missions

[The following is a summary of Pastor Sean's sermon]

Acts 8:1-8

1. Whenever we are scattered, preach the word. (vs. 4)
2. Preaching the word means proclaiming Christ. (vs.5)
3. Proclaiming Christ with evidence of His reality in your life. (vs. 6-7)
4. Jesus' purpose will be fulfilled. (vs. 8)

What should be proclaimed?
(a) We must proclaim that Jesus Christ was crucified in our place to make atonement for our sins. (Romans 3:25)
(b) We must proclaim that Jesus is the only one who is able to save us and that there is no other way. (John 14:6)
(c) We must proclaim that Jesus Christ is given a name above every name, "far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given." (Ephesians 1:21)
(d) We must proclaim that Jesus is saving his people, the elect sinners of Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and from the uttermost ends of the earth. (Acts 1:8; 2:39)
(e) We must proclaim that Jesus and the salvation through His gospel is the most important thing in the world. (1 Corinthians 15:3)
(f) We must proclaim that Jesus is the one we love, trust, and repent to for forgiveness of sins and are given saving grace. (Mark 1:15)
