Pastor Duane Brooks underscores the importance of spreading the good news of Jesus Christ to all individuals. He reflects on biblical passages to illustrate the unstoppable nature of the gospel and the need to reach across societal barriers. He stresses the universal nature of the good news, the role of the church as bearers of this message, and the transformative power it holds for everyone. We need to see people through the lens of Jesus and finding identity in the good news of salvation rather than worldly measures of success. This message is based on Acts 11:19-21.
