TELL THEM

“There is no other name under heaven… by which we must be saved.”

That line from Acts 4 is either offensive or freeing, and we must refuse to treat it like background noise. The sermon opens with Peter and John standing in front of the religious power of their day (The Sanhedrin), facing consequences for one message: Jesus rose after being executed by the religious influencers of their day and Jesus alone still saves. Peter and John's boldness was not personality or hype. It was the Holy Spirit giving ordinary men courage to tell the truth when staying quiet would have been easier.

Also addressed are the ways that many draw back and drift from the gospel message without noticing. When our platforms become mainly psychology, politics, prosperity promises, or “best life” driven, we may still sound spiritual while avoiding the one message that actually rescues: preach / teach Jesus.

The sermon focus then turns to John 3:16–18 to show God’s heart behind His exclusivity: real love that gives, real salvation that is offered, and real judgment with eternal consequences for rejecting Him. Along the way we connect Scriptures that clarify the reason that one must approach GOD through Jesus alone, including 1 Timothy 2 on the one mediator, 2 Corinthians 6 on the urgency of now, Isaiah’s declarations that God alone saves, and Hebrews 7 on Jesus as our permanent high priest who intercedes for us.

With a simple invitation prayer and a clear charge: we are challenged to 'tell them' anyway, even when people reject the message or the messenger.

Has anyone ever shared the gospel message with you and if so, when was the last time that you 'told another' about such a critical message, with eternity approaching for all?
