This sermon is a powerful call to action based on Romans 15:15-19, and it will challenge how you see your everyday life as a Christian.
Iain dives deep into what it really means to be a minister of the "good news." He explains that sharing your faith isn't just a chore or a duty; it's a profound act of worship, what Paul called a "priestly duty."
To make it easy to remember, Iain breaks his message down into three key ideas (all starting with "P"!):
Being Present: It's not just about ideas; it's about being physically present and engaged with people in specific places. Iain uses Paul's journey from "Jerusalem... to Illyricum" as the model for us to be in our communities.
The Holy Spirit's Power: This is the core of it. You don't have to do this in your own strength! Iain passionately reminds us that this is all accomplished through the "power of the Spirit of God," which includes signs, wonders, and the incredible hope only the Spirit can give.
The Act of Proclamation: While our actions are vital, Iain makes a strong case that the gospel must be spoken. The good news needs words to be fully understood and received.
