TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

Romans 15:17–21 - [17] In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to be proud of my work for God. [18] For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience—by word and deed, [19] by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God—so that from Jerusalem and all the way around to Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ; [20] and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else’s foundation, [21] but as it is written, “Those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never heard will understand.” (ESV)

0:00.0	Hello, my friends. I'm glad that you're back for the morning mindset so we can get our minds aligned
0:09.7	with the truth of God's word for this day. If you've been listening for some time, it must be
0:15.6	because God is using the morning mindset in your life. Would you take a moment to prayerfully consider who the Lord would have you share the morning
0:24.3	mindset well?
0:25.4	They can experience the same kind of benefit of growth you've been experiencing, which
0:29.9	could affect them in eternal ways.
0:32.4	Would you take some time to think about that and share the morning mindset with someone
0:36.5	today?
0:38.5	Well, friends, as we dig into Romans chapter 15 versus 17 through 21, I'm really excited about this passage. There's
0:44.4	some great things here for us to learn. But before we get started with that, we need to pray.
0:49.8	So the Holy Spirit will be our teacher. Lord God, we are eager for you to teach us what you want us to know
0:56.8	and show us how to believe more confidently in who you are and what you're doing in our lives,
1:05.2	enable us to apply your word well today as we read it. In Jesus' name, amen. Well amen well the apostle Paul is writing this long letter
1:14.6	the book of Romans to these believers who live in the city of Rome and he's speaking about his life
1:21.8	as an example for them to follow and he expresses that in chapter, verses 17 through 21 in this way. He says,
1:30.8	In Christ Jesus then, I have reason to be proud of my work for God. For I will not venture to
1:38.2	speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, to bring the Gentiles to obedience
1:44.1	by word and deed, by the
1:47.2	power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God. So that from Jerusalem and all the way
1:54.3	around to Elycrium, I have fulfilled the ministry of the Gospel of Christ. And thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel,
2:04.4	not where Christ has already been named,
2:06.6	lest I build on someone else's foundation.
