I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL!

 




All preaching must be Bible-centered. The Bible is the word of God and shows us his will for our lives. Therefore, it is very important to study the Scriptures to preach. Through the message of the Bible, many lives are changed!

Well-founded preaching in the Bible is important to convey the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This biblical good news is the power of God to save everyone who believes. Preaching is a great responsibility. The preacher must prepare himself by searching the Scriptures to:

     • understand the biblical context,

     • interpret the message and

     • apprehend the practical application for our days.

Likewise, the listener must have discernment and wisdom. We must not unconditionally accept any preaching. We must always analyze and confirm that the preaching is in line with the Bible. Preaching that uses a biblical text as a pretext for a message that does not agree with the Bible is dangerous and must be rejected.



All Scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:16-17


Wherever you go, preach this message: The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

Matthew 10:7


But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, to proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

1 Peter 2:9


I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Greek. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed, a righteousness which from first to last is by faith, as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

Romans 1:16-17


For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.

1 Corinthians 1:17


How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in the one they haven't heard of? And how will they hear if there is no one to preach? And how will they preach if they are not sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" However, not all Israelites responded to the good news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our message?" Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.

Romans 10:14-17


Preach the word, be prepared in season and out of season, rebuke, correct, exhort with all patience and doctrine.

2 Timothy 4:2


Jews ask for miraculous signs, and Greeks seek wisdom; But we preach Christ crucified, to Jews and Gentiles a stumbling block, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

1 Corinthians 1:22-24


The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord,

it's over me,

because the Lord anointed me

to bring good news to the poor.

He has sent me to care for those who are

with a broken heart,

announce freedom to the captives

and deliverance from darkness to the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor

and the day of vengeance of our God;

to comfort all who mourn and give to all who mourn in Zion

a beautiful crown instead of ashes,

the oil of joy instead of mourning

and a mantle of praise

instead of depressed spirit.

they will be called

oaks of justice,

planting of the Lord,

for the manifestation of his glory.

Isaiah 61:1-3


Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:15


I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ, to follow another gospel, which is not the gospel at all. What happens is that some people are disturbing them, wanting to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be accursed! As we have already said, now I say it again: if anyone preaches to you a gospel other than the one you already received, let him be cursed!

Galatians 1:6-9


Then Philip, beginning with that passage of Scripture, told him the good news of Jesus.

Acts of the Apostles 8:35


For Ezra had decided to devote himself to studying the Law of the Lord and doing it, and teaching his decrees and commandments to the Israelites.

Ezra 7:10


According to his custom, Paul went to the synagogue and for three sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and proving that the Christ must suffer and rise from the dead. And he said: "This Jesus I proclaim is the Christ".

Acts of the Apostles 17:2-3


Just like rain and snow

descend from the heavens

and do not return to them without watering the earth

and make it bud and blossom,

for it to produce seed

to the sower

and bread for the one who eats, so it is with the word

that comes out of my mouth:

she will not return to me empty,

but will do what i want

and it will accomplish the purpose for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55:10-11


Since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know him through human wisdom, it pleased God to save those who believe through the foolishness of preaching.

1 Corinthians 1:21


For whatever was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

Romans 15:4


Then Jesus approached them and said, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And I will be with you always, until the end of the age".

 ALL THE GODLY WILL EXPERIENCE SUFFERING...




Nobody likes to suffer. Suffering is the result of sin in the world. One day, when Jesus returns, all suffering will be over.

Not all suffering is caused by our own sin. We all go through suffering that we don't understand. But God promises never to forsake us. God helps those who trust in him to overcome suffering. God has power to deliver.

The Bible warns that we will suffer for following Jesus. But God can turn even our suffering into a blessing! Those who remain faithful to God and do not give up in suffering will be rewarded in eternity.


I consider that our present sufferings cannot be compared with the glory that will be revealed in us.

Romans 8:18



for our light and momentary sufferings are producing for us an eternal glory that outweighs them all.

2 Corinthians 4:17


This is my consolation in my suffering:

Your promise gives me life.

Psalms 119:50


Because it is commendable if, for the sake of his conscience toward God, someone endures afflictions by suffering unjustly. For what advantage is there in enduring scourges received for having committed evil? But if you endure suffering for doing good, that is commendable before God. To this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving an example, so that you should follow in his steps. "He didn't commit

no sin,

and no mistake

was found in his mouth." When insulted, he did not retaliate; when suffering, he did not threaten, but handed himself over to the one who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die for the sins and live for righteousness; by his stripes you were healed.

1 Peter 2:19-24


Because, in view of what he himself suffered when tempted, he is able to succor those who are also being tempted.

Hebrews 2:18


But you have closely followed my teaching, my conduct, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my perseverance, the persecutions and sufferings I endured, things that happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Stripe. How much persecution I endured! But from all these things the Lord delivered me!

2 Timothy 3:10-11


Consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

James 1:2-3


Resist him, standing firm in the faith, knowing that your brothers throughout the world are going through the same sufferings.

1 Peter 5:9


If your law were not my delight,

suffering would have already destroyed me. I will never forget your precepts,

because it is through them

that you preserve my life.

Psalms 119:92-93


It was good for me to be punished,

that I might learn your statutes.

Psalm 119:71


To the woman he declared:

"I will greatly multiply

her suffering in pregnancy;

in suffering you will bring forth children.

Your desire will be for your husband,

and he shall rule over it.” And to the man he said,

"Since you listened to your wife

and ate the fruit of the tree

which I ordered you

not to eat,

cursed is the ground because of you;

with suffering you

will feed on her

every day of your life.

Genesis 3:16-17


for the love of money is the root of all evil. Some people, because they coveted money, have strayed from the faith and pierced themselves with many sufferings.

1 Timothy 6:10


who is careful what he says

it avoids a lot of suffering.

Proverbs 21:23


Turn to me and have mercy on me,

for I am alone and afflicted. The anguish of my heart multiplied;

deliver me from my affliction. Look at my tribulation

and my suffering,

and forgive all my sins.

Psalms 25:16-18


Mercy Lord!

See the suffering they cause me

those who hate me.

Save me from the gates of death, so that I may stand at the gates of the city of Zion

I sing praises to you

and there rejoice in thy salvation.

Psalms 9:13-14


Praise him, you who fear the Lord!

Glorify him, all of you,

descendants of Jacob!

Tremble before him, all of you,

descendants of Israel! Well, you didn't despise

nor did he repudiate the suffering of the afflicted;

did not hide her face from him,

but heard his cry for help.

Psalms 22:23-24


Why does the wicked insult God,

saying within himself:

"You won't ask me for anything!"? But you see suffering and pain;

watch them to take them in your hands.

Their victim surrenders to you;

thou art the protector of the orphan.

Psalms 10:13-14


He was despised and rejected by men,

a man of pain

and experienced in suffering.

like someone from whom

men hide their faces,

he was despised

and we did not hold him in esteem. He certainly took it upon himself

our infirmities

and upon himself he took our diseases;

however we consider it

punished by God,

by God struck and afflicted. But he was pierced

because of our transgressions,

he was crushed because

of our iniquities;

the punishment that brought us peace

was on him, and by his wounds

we were healed.

Isaiah 53:3-5


Indeed, you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for, despite much suffering, you received the word with the joy that comes from the Holy Spirit.

1 Thessalonians 1:6


But rejoice as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that when his glory is revealed, you may also rejoice with great joy. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, happy are you, for the Spirit of glory, the Spirit of God, rests on you. If any of you suffer, let it not be as a murderer, thief, criminal, or as a meddler in someone else's business. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God through that name.

1 Peter 4:13-16


I only know that, in every city, the Holy Spirit warns me that prisons and sufferings await me. However, I don't care, nor do I consider my life of any value to myself, if I can only finish the race and complete the ministry that the Lord Jesus has entrusted to me, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

Acts of the Apostles 20:23-24


For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so through Christ our consolation overflows. If we are troubled, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which gives you patience to endure the same sufferings that we are suffering.

2 Corinthians 1:5-6


Bear with me my sufferings, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

2 Timothy 2:3


I heard a strong voice from the throne saying, "Now the tabernacle of God is with men, with whom he will live. They will be his peoples; God himself will be with them and will be their God. He will wipe away from their eyes every tear. There shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor pain, for the old order is passed away."

 ESPECIALLY ON WEEKENDS, ALCOHOL BRINGS A DECEIVED PROMISE OF “JOY”, OF FORGETTING PROBLEMS. BUT, IN ACTUALLY, IT TAKES AWAY FROM YOUR SOBRIETY AND YOUR COGNITIVE CAPACITY OF DISCERNMENT, YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS IS AFFECTED AND YOUR ACTS TOO… WATCH! DON'T DESTROY YOUR FAMILY!



Most of the time when an alcoholic beverage is referred to in the Bible, wine is alluded to.

Despite being
part of food, we have several situations in which God asks his servants to refrain from wine - or any strong drink - as a way of consecrating themselves to Him for a certain time.

The risk of addiction is present in every alcoholic drink. Despite being related to joy, the Bible shows us the sad consequences of a life that becomes dependent on alcohol and not on God.


Noah, who was a farmer, was the first to plant a vineyard. He drank the wine, got drunk, and was naked inside his tent.

Genesis 9:20-21


wine is mocking

and the fermented drink provokes quarrels;

it is not wise to let yourself be dominated by them.

Proverbs 20:1


Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,

Ephesians 5:18


"Say this to the Israelites: If a man or woman takes a special vow, a vow of separation to the Lord as a Nazarite, he must abstain from wine and other fermented drinks and must not drink vinegar made from wine or other fermented drink You may not drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins.

Numbers 6:2-3


Woe to those who get up early

to get drunk,

and warm themselves with wine until the night!

Isaiah 5:11


The new wine goes away,

and the vine withers;

all who were having fun groan.

Isaiah 24:7


Don't destroy God's work because of food. All food is pure, but it is wrong to eat anything that stumbles others. It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything else that causes your brother to fall.

Romans 14:20-21


This statement is trustworthy: If someone wants to be a bishop, he wants a noble office. A bishop therefore must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, moderate, sensible, respectable, hospitable, and able to teach; he should not be fond of wine or violent, but kind, peaceful and not fond of money.

1 Timothy 3:1-3


Similarly, let him teach the older women to be reverent in their way of life, not to be slanderous or enslaved to too much wine, but to be able to teach what is good.

Titus 2:3


Deacons likewise must be dignified, men of their word, not fond of much wine or dishonest gain.

1 Timothy 3:8


"You and your children must not drink wine or other fermented drink before entering the Tent of Meeting, otherwise you will die. It is a perpetual decree for your generations.

Leviticus 10:9


don't go with those

are drenched in wine,

nor with those

gorge themselves on meat.

Proverbs 23:20


However, be careful, do not drink wine or other fermented drink, and do not eat anything unclean; and no razor will pass over the head of the child you are going to have, because the boy will be a Nazarite, consecrated to God from birth; he will initiate the deliverance of Israel from the hands of the Philistines."

Judges 13:4-5


Whose are the woes?

Whose sorrows?

And the fights, whose are they?

What about unnecessary injuries?

Whose are the red eyes? Of those who linger drinking wine,

of those who are looking

of mixed drink.

Proverbs 23:29-30


Absalom ordered his men, "Listen! When Amnon is drunk on wine and I say, 'Kill Amnon!' you will kill him. Do not be afraid; I will take responsibility. Be strong and courageous!"

2 Samuel 13:28


Give fermented drink to

who are about to die,

wine to those in distress;

Proverbs 31:6


"It is not fitting for kings, O Lemuel;

it is not fitting for kings to drink wine,

it does not suit the rulers

desire fermented drink,

Proverbs 31:4


Daniel, however, resolved not to make himself unclean with the king's food and wine, and he asked the chief of officials for permission to abstain from them.

 20 TIPS FOR A HUSBAND:







1. Don't yell at your wife.

2. Take care of her words, besides hurting, they have power.

3. Never compare your wife to another woman.

4. Your love, affection, nicknames and pranks are just for her.

5. Never share your sexual intimacy.

6. Be kind and affectionate with her.

7. Don't keep secrets from her. Now you are one, so see if it cooperates, right?

8. If you have something to resolve, do it on good terms and in the privacy of your room.

9. Be grateful to her for working hard with you, your home, business, or ministry.

10. Give thanks and praise for your meal. It's not easy to cook 365 days a year. But help too, she doesn't live in this house alone, so when possible cook too, clean and wash! And keep things as clean and tidy as you found them.

11. Never put her family members before her. She is your wife, she is one with you. She should always come first!

12. Intentionally invest in your spiritual growth.

13. Don't forget to make the family altar, pray with her, with her children. You will never be a spiritual foundation for them if you don't have a prayer life!

14. Take quality time, enjoy the company, play, laugh, get to know places.

15. Never use money to manipulate or control her. Everything that is yours is hers. She was joined to you by the grace of God.

16. Never speak ill of her to others, you will be speaking ill of yourself too. Be a shield around her.

17. Honor your parents and be kind to your family members.

18. Never stop telling her how much you love her. Do this everyday. Women never get tired of being loved and listening to you.

19. Never give her negative comments about her body, that's not cool.

20. And you, be more like Jesus, for Christ must be your head, there is nothing that gives a wife more security than having someone who loves God by her side.
