The sermon delivered by Pastor Josh Massaro at Middletown Baptist Church on May 18, 2025, delves into the profound theme of being unashamed of the gospel of Christ, as articulated in Romans 1:16-17. Pastor Josh emphasizes the transformative power inherent in the gospel, which he elucidates as the divine mechanism for salvation available to all who believe, regardless of their cultural or ethnic background. He draws attention to the Apostle Paul's unwavering readiness to proclaim the gospel, posing a rhetorical challenge to the congregation: are we, too, prepared to share this life-altering message confidently in our daily lives? Throughout the sermon, Pastor Josh highlights the necessity of understanding the gospel—defined succinctly as the good news of Jesus Christ's life, death, and resurrection—to effectively communicate its significance to others. He further explores the implications of living boldly for the gospel, asserting that true faith manifests itself in action, particularly in the pursuit of sharing Christ with the world around us. The message encourages believers to embrace their identity in Christ and to proclaim the gospel with courage and conviction, drawing on the assurance of God's power to effect change in the lives of others.
