Friends, I had the opportunity to sit with Dale Partridge and talk about his new Gospel project, MailtheGospel.org, which helps us share the gospel with anyone anywhere. The video below was from our time on Instagram Live, and we discussed why Christians don't share the gospel, getting equipped to share the gospel and how MailtheGospel.org can be a sweet addition - not a replacement - to your evangelism.

EP 123: How Should We Give? (Matthew 6:1-4 – Sermon on the Mount Series)
When we grasp our relationship with God as our Father and rest securely in His care and love, it will change what we do and why we do it.

EP 122: Love Your Enemies (Matthew 5:43-48 – Sermon on the Mount Series)

This is the fifth of Jesus' statements, "you heard that it was said but I say to you," where Jesus is calling for our ... continue reading...
EP 119: Tell the Truth! (Matthew 5:33-37 – Sermon on the Mount Series)
We're on the fourth of Jesus's illustrations of what true morality looks like to those that are in Christ. We talked about the sin of anger in EP 113 and dealing with our adulterous hearts or sexual purity in EP 115. Divorce and remarriage or better put our faithfulness in marriage in EP 117. Today in EP 119, we're going to work through telling the truth, and in the next couple of episodes, we'll get to the fifth and sixth illustrations of true morality as we'll work through selflessness and ... continue reading...
