A Gospel Without Power | #178
Where are the miracles? Where is the presence of God? We preach about the power of the early church, but have we lost the devotion that shaped their lives?
Steve Gray challenges the Westernized gospel and explains why preaching the Bible in context must lead to living it in context. Through the early believers’ devotion to God, fellowship, and testimony of the risen Jesus, he calls us to recover the roots of our faith. He also explains what Christianity’s Jewish roots mean for our daily lives and how we raise our children. It starts with a heart fully devoted to God, where His presence becomes more important than protecting our own priorities.
