Gospel Witness in a Slightly More Hostile World

April 27, 2025

Series: From Death to Life: The Power of the Cross

Passage: John

Speaker: David Gustafson

Our guest speaker, Dr. David Gustafson, who has served as a professor at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School for a number of years and is currently Professor of Evangelism and Missional Ministry, shared from John 15. He encouraged us to proceed with sharing the gospel in the following ways: to embrace our strangeness as Christ followers and the strangeness of the gospel to those who hear it; to practice "leaning in, leaning out" as we share the gospel; to listen to others' stories; to explore together the life and teaching of Jesus in the gospel; and to assume greater risk whenever we share the gospel. We need to be Christ's witnesses in a slightly more hostile world.
