Romans 15:18-21

We are in a 2-week series called “Hope for the World” where we take the time to celebrate what God is doing in Las Vegas, the West, and the World.

In week 2 of this series, Pastor Tom preached from Romans 15:18-21 and we learned that as Jesus followers, we are to be committed to getting the gospel to the unreached. What does that mean and what does that look like? Check out this sermon to learn more!

Hope for the World 2024
Week 2: Committed to Reaching the Unreached

"For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience-by word and deed, by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God-so that from Jerusalem and all the way around to Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ; and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else’s foundation, but as it is written, ‘Those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never heard will understand.’” Romans 15:18-21

Unreached:
Those who live in a culture where less that 2% of the population are Evangelical Christian.

1. A Laser Focused Determination

Reaching the UNREACHED requires a determination…
…to be BOLD
“I will not venture to speak…” v.18

…to GROW SPIRITUALLY
“except what Christ has accomplished through me” v.18

…to be an INTENTIONAL WITNESS
“by word or deed” v.18

…to be GOD-DEPENDENT
“by the power of the Spirit of God” v.19


2. A Passionate Gospel Aspiration

“Go, send or disobey.” John Piper


3. A Specific & Strategic Target

“Whom shall I send and who will go for us? Then I (Isaiah) said, ‘Here I am; send me.’” Isaiah 6:8

“You don’t need a voice when you have a verse.” Jim Elliot
