0:00.0	We live in the day of the 24-hour news cycle, and most of what we hear is bad news.
0:12.1	With the steady stream of evil reports, it is easy to forget that God has provided good news in a bad world,
0:19.8	and that good news is the gospel of Jesus Christ.
0:23.5	Today we join Scott Pauley as he opens God's Word to remind us of God's good news,
0:30.3	the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, and how that good news not only encourages us as believers, but is also the message this unbelieving
0:41.0	world desperately needs. Let's join Scott now.
0:47.2	The goal of Scripture is not knowledge. The goal of Scripture is obedience. And the God of the Bible,
0:53.8	frankly, is a God of action I think sometimes
0:56.8	we know so much and do so little with it we're hearers and not doers and so as we come to the
1:03.2	conclusion of this brief little study on the gospel the good news of Jesus in a in a bad world that desperately needs it, I want to ask you
1:13.8	a question, what will you do now? What will grow out of this? What will change? What will be initiated
1:21.3	in your life and in your labor for the gospel's sake? I want to back up to a verse. I'm saving it last because of
1:30.2	its personal work in my life in recent days. It's found in 1st Corinthians chapter 9 and verse
1:37.7	number 23. And frankly, I've taken it recently as a little motto. I've been trying to think
1:42.6	to myself day after day, how can I apply
1:46.4	this verse? This is what Paul wrote. 1 Corinthians 9, verse 23, and this I do for the gospel's sake
1:55.2	that I might be partaker thereof with you. Now, the context of the text is frankly that Paul is addressing the way
2:04.3	he lives his life, some things he does and some things he doesn't do, some things he permits himself
2:09.7	to have and some things he will not permit himself to have and all of it for one great purpose for the
2:16.4	gospel's sake. We have to learn to live our purpose for the gospel's sake.
2:22.6	We have to learn to live our life for the gospel's sake, not for my sake, not just for somebody else's sake, not for the church's sake, not for the pastor's sake, but for the
2:28.6	gospel's sake.
