The second study in our "Growing Deep in the Gospel" series in which we answer the question, "What is the Gospel?" In answering the question we looked at how the word "gospel" was used in Jesus' day and how the Bible describes the gospel. We also looked at what is the heart of the gospel, a outline of the basic gospel message and an outline of the gospel based on the entire Bible.

EVANGELISM 101: Lesson 1 - Biblical Foundations of EvangelismFrancis Hernandez
For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” (Romans 10:13-15)
"It (Evangelism) comes from the same Greek word for gospel (euangelion) and means, literally, “gospeling.” When we evangelize we are “gospeling” — we are spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ." - https://www.ligonier.org/learn/devotionals/what-evangelism/
Every Christian is called to do the divine task of evangelism. Evangelism is a task not just for the select churches, or for the evangelists or pastors. This is Lesson 1 of EVANGELISM 101 Series. Given last April 23, 2021 at HOPE Christian Fellowship in Guinobatan, Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines by Ptr. Francis S. Hernandez.

The Companies Act, 2013 has been in force for about a year now. The law while ushering in a new era for corporate regulation in India has introduced massive changes in the way companies govern themselves.
CII has been instrumental in ensuring that industry voices were heeded during each stage of evolution of the Act. Our advocacy still continues with formal submissions on implementation of the legislation which has now thrown up newer issues and challenges. This is being done through various mediums including consolidated CII Representations; closed-door meetings with industry captains; one-to-one meetings with concerned Ministers and other key officials at the MCA.
Based on these submissions and interactions, many concerns highlighted by CII post notification of the Act and Rules have been clarified / notified by MCA. The remaining issues cover provisions relating to onerous requirements for private companies and closely-held unlisted public companies; related party transactions; CSR; amounts treated as deposits; certification of internal financial controls instead of internal control over financial reporting; consolidation of accounts; alignment with SEBI regulations, etc amongst others. These provisions require reconsideration either due to their extended reach or complexity in drafting the regulation or practical difficultly in compliance.
Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) are emerging as lead players in the ‘Make in India’ initiative that is targeted at transforming the manufacturing sector of the country.
This edition of PSE Insights elaborates on the role of PSEs in manufacturing, their potential and the opportunities for partnerships arising under Make in India.
One of the biggest challenges for the resurgent Indian economy is the exponentially growing demand for energy. With the country's oil import bill for last financial year touching a staggering $150 billion and per capita consumption of electricity languishing at a paltry 917.2kWh, as against 3298 kWh in China and 12346 kWh in the US, energy is clearly a critical focus area for the new NDA Government.
The Government has decided to tackle this challenge proactively by focusing on the three As – access, availability and affordability – as the primary drivers to reach the goal of sustainable energy for all. Landmark reforms are being planned for energy sector policies, and some, such as the new bill for the coal sector, has improved upon a 40-year legacy with one bold stroke. The Government has also set very ambitious targets for the renewable energy sector, with 100GW of solar energy installed capacity envisioned by 2020, entailing investments to the tune of USD 100bn.
Given the significant developments underway in this sector, the November issue of Policy Watch reached out to industry leaders across the power, hydrocarbons and renewable energy sectors, to capture their views on the policy reforms being proposed by the Government, and their recommendations to ensure a sustainable and energy-secure future for the country

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

Renewed in Grace
6. Importance of the Gospel to Paul
To all who are in Rome, beloved of
God, called to be saints: Grace to
you and peace from God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ. First, I
thank my God through Jesus Christ
for you all, that your faith is spoken
of throughout the whole world.
Romans 1:7-8 (NKJ)
7. Importance of the Gospel to Paul
I do not want you to be unaware, brothers
and sisters, that I planned many times to
come to you (but have been prevented
from doing so until now) in order that I
might have a harvest among you, just as I
have had among the other Gentiles. I am
obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks,
both to the wise and the foolish. That is
why I am so eager to preach the gospel
also to you who are in Rome.
Romans 1:13-15 (NIV)
8. Importance of the Gospel to Paul
For I am not ashamed of the gospel
of Christ, because it is the power of
God to salvation for everyone who
believes…
Romans 1:16 (NIV 84)
9. Importance of the Gospel to Paul
When I came to you, brothers, I did
not come with eloquence or superior
wisdom as I proclaimed to you the
testimony about God. For I resolved
to know nothing while I was with you
except Jesus Christ and him
crucified.
1 Corinthians 2:1-2 (NIV)
10. Why the Gospel is Important
For I am not ashamed of the gospel,
because it is the power of God that
brings salvation to everyone who
believes…
Romans 1:16 (NIV)
16. Salvation
Justification – Beginning
Justification is God declaring those
who receive Christ to be righteous,
based on Christ’s righteousness
being imputed to those who receive
Christ through repentance and faith.
18. Salvation
Sanctification – Middle
The process of being conformed
more and more into the likeness of
Christ through the work of the Holy
Spirit and God’s Word within a
community of believers called a
church.
26. Why the Gospel is Important
“If there’s anything in life we should
be passionate about, it’s the gospel.
And I don’t mean passionate only
about sharing it with others; I mean
passionate in thinking about the
gospel, reflecting upon it, rejoicing
in it, allowing it to color the way we
look at the world and all of life.”
C. J. Mahaney
27. Why the Gospel is Important
“… very small errors in a person’s
understanding of the Gospel
seemed to result in very big
problems in that person's life.”
C. J. Mahaney
28. Why the Gospel is Important
“Early in my Christian life, I thought the
Gospel was the message to win people to
Christ, then, in disciple-making, one
moved on to “deeper things.” What a
fallacy! You never move beyond the
Gospel. You go deeper and higher with
the Gospel, but never beyond the
Gospel.”
P.J. Miller
29. Why the Gospel is Important
“We never “get beyond the gospel” in our
Christian life to something more
“advanced.” The gospel is not the first
“step” in a “stairway” of truths, rather, it
is more like the “hub” in a “wheel” of
truth. The gospel is not just the A-B-C’s
but the A-Z of Christianity. The gospel is
not just the minimum required doctrine
necessary to enter the kingdom, but the
way we make progress in the kingdom.”
Tim Keller
30. Why the Gospel is Important
“The gospel is not only the most
important message in all of history;
it is the only essential message in all
of history.”
Jerry Bridges
32. Why the Gospel is Important
But he replied, “I must preach the
Good News of the Kingdom of God
in other towns, too, because that is
why I was sent.”
Luke 4:43 (NIV)
34. Why the Gospel is Important
For even the Son of Man did not
come to be served, but to serve, and
to give his life as a ransom for many.
Mark 10:45 (NIV)
36. Why the Gospel is Important
This will happen when the Lord Jesus is
revealed from heaven in blazing fire with
his powerful angels. He will punish those
who do not know God and do not obey
the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will
be punished with everlasting destruction
and shut out from the presence of the
Lord and from the glory of his might.
2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 (NIV)
38. Why the Gospel is Important
It is like a person building a house who
digs deep and lays the foundation on
solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and
break against that house, it stands firm
because it is well built. But anyone who
hears and doesn’t obey is like a person
who builds a house without a foundation.
When the floods sweep down against that
house, it will collapse into a heap of
ruins.”
Luke 6: 48-49 (NLT)
45. Why the Gospel is Important
Strengthen, Establish
Stērizō - 1) to make stable, place
firmly, set fast, fix 2) to strengthen,
make firm 3) to render constant,
confirm one's mind.
49. Why the Gospel is Important
I am astonished that you are so
quickly deserting the one who called
you to live in the grace of Christ and
are turning to a different gospel—
which is really no gospel at all.
Evidently some people are throwing
you into confusion and are trying to
pervert the gospel of Christ.
Galatians 1:6-7 (NIV)
53. Three Ways to Live
1. By the Law - Legalism
2. Against the Law - License
3. By the Gospel - Grace
54. Living by Law - Legalism
Legalism is adding our own efforts
and works to what Jesus did to
either attain or maintain our
justification before God and/or to
earn or keep God’s favor by what we
do.
Jesus + works = legalism
55. Against the Law - License
Moreover the law entered that the offense
might abound. But where sin abounded,
grace abounded much more, so that as
sin reigned in death, even so grace might
reign through righteousness to eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord. What
shall we say then? Shall we continue in
sin that grace may abound? Well then,
should we keep on sinning so that God
can show us more and more of his
wonderful grace?
Romans 5:20-6:1 (NLT)
56. Against the Law - License
Means “against the law” or “lawlessness”
and is the belief that there are no moral
laws God expects Christians to obey. It is
the unbiblical practice of living without
regard to the righteousness of God, using
God's grace as a license to sin, and
trusting grace to cover willful sin.
Jesus + abuse of grace = License to sin
57. Against the Law - License
Well then, should we keep on sinning so
that God can show us more and more of
his wonderful grace?
Romans 6:1 (NLT)
58. Against the Law - License
Of course not! Since we have died to sin,
how can we continue to live in it? Or have
you forgotten that when we were joined
with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined
him in his death? For we died and were
buried with Christ by baptism. And just as
Christ was raised from the dead by the
glorious power of the Father, now we also
may live new lives.
Romans 6:2-4 (NLT)
60. Blessings of the Gospel
1. Aligns our knowledge and
understanding of God, ourselves and
everything else with reality.
2. Moves us to love God and people.
3. Fills our lives with joy and
thanksgiving.
4. Gives meaning and purpose to our
lives and changes our priorities.
5. Guides us as we live out our lives.
64. The Gospel is Important
1. Because it was the reason that
God the Father sent Jesus.
2. Because it provides the means to
avoid judgment, hell and wrath.
3. Because it gives us a rock-solid
foundation on which to build our
lives.
4. Because it strengthens us
spiritually.
65. The Gospel is Important
5. Because it guides us on how to
live the best life.
6. Because it keeps us from being
deceived by false gospels.
7. Because it keeps us from falling
into legalism or licentiousness.
8. Because it provides the means to
avoid judgment, hell and wrath.
67. Why the Gospel is Important
For I am not ashamed of the gospel
of Christ, because it is the power of
God to salvation for everyone who
believes…
Romans 1:16 (NIV 84)
68. Reection
Does your life reflect that the gospel
is important to you?
What changes do you feel the Lord
wants you to make in your life in
light of the gospel?
70. Grow Deep!
What you do with the gospel and
Jesus determines not only your
eternal destiny but how you live in
the here and now.
71. Grow Deep!
Resolve to make the gospel the
highest priority in your life and ask
Jesus to empower you to do so day
by day through the Holy Spirit.
72. Grow Deep!
Take the time to study, meditate and
pray over the gospel on a regular
basis so that you are continually
growing in your understanding of it.
73. Grow Deep!
As you grow in your knowledge and
understanding of the gospel take a
hold of it by faith and learn how to
live it out.
74. Last Word
Take a hold of the gospel so
Jesus can take a hold of you!
