So we're in Romans 15 starting in verse 14 tonight and I want to talk to you about

To start off with what I think is the most underused untapped resource in the body of Christ and I don't mean to exaggerate when I say that I really mean it.

The most untapped resource in the body of Christ and it's right here in Romans 514.

1514 excuse me Romans 15 verse 14 thank you thank. Thank you Kirk. It says now I myself am

confident concerning you my brethren so it's his confidence about something

about them the ones he's writing to that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge,

able also to admonish one another.

The untapped potential is the untapped potential of the body of Christ, of the people in the church,

the members of the body of Jesus.

We're the untapped potential.

We are. And I think that that's what Romans 1514 is talking about. But first

let's talk about what probably jumps out to you because we're full of goodness and

filled with all knowledge is what it says.

Anybody feel like that describes you?

In fact you could be like I'm full of goodness but yet the scripture says no one is good but God

Jesus himself he said no one is good but God this is where the atheist jumps in and goes

Ah contradiction and then quickly jumps away before you know I don't want to think about the passage that's supposedly contradicting, but rather we'll try to understand it.

So how am I full of goodness and fill with all knowledge? Well, there's two things to add here. I think

that this is in a corporate sense, not an individual sense, and I think it's referencing

the Holy Spirit, not just referencing you and your skills and your amazingness. spirit not

full of goodness and your full of goodness and knowledge,

but rather the Holy Spirit obviously is.
