Living Up to Our Label | Acts 11:19-30

The Gospel for All | a teaching series through Acts

Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor

Sermon Notes:

“The gospel is not a doctrine of the tongue, but of life. It cannot be grasped by reason and memory only, but it is fully understood when it possesses the whole soul and penetrates to the inner recesses of the heart.” — John Calvin

The ‘Christian’ label was given not just based on belief in Jesus but a lifestyle of discipleship - being told the gospel, taught to obey it, eager to tell others and faithful to teach them as well.

1. Christians never graduate from needing to be told the gospel.

1 Corinthians 15:1 // Philippians 3:1 // 2 Peter 1:12

2. Christians highly prioritize being taught to be faithful to Christ in all of life.

Matthew 28:20 // Colossians 1:28 // Philippians 1:27 // 2 Timothy 3:16-17

3. Christians naturally tell others about the hope available in Jesus.

2 Corinthians 5:20 // 1 Peter 3:15

4. Christian maturity looks like teaching others to follow Christ with us.

2 Timothy 2:2 // 1 Corinthians 11:1
