Proclaiming a Clear and God-honoring Gospel

MEFC Sermon Audio - Midland, MI

Why is sin so bad? Why would a loving God get angry about sin? If God is so loving, why does he have to punish sin? If you’ve thought about these questions, or had someone ask you these questions, it’s important to know the Truth! Listen as Elder Dave Shumaker answers these questions as he teaches us from the books of Romans and Exodus. Before we can understand the GOOD NEWS of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we have to understand the BAD NEWS. The Gospel we share must be clear and God-honoring. This is the most important message we can offer to a lost world! That’s why it’s so crucial that we REACH OUT to others and share the salvation message about Jesus. The Gospel summarized in 5 statements (Romans 3:21-25): • The Old Testament can’t save, but it can tell you how be saved. • The righteousness we all need comes through faith. • All people need faith because all sin. • God declares those with faith to be legally righteous because of Jesus’ redemptive death. • We can be saved by Jesus’ sacrifice because it satisfies God’s wrath.
