Uprising: an act of resistance or rebellion; a revolt.

We have seen uprisings around the world in the last several years.

We are praying that there will be a Gospel Uprising in the Christian church.

There has only been a few Christian uprisings in America. We need to pray there is another one.

Why is the Gospel our cause?

Romans 1:16 NKJV

[16] For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

The world is in a bad place because of sin. We all deserve to be in hell for eternity because of our debt of sin. The good news is that Jesus has paid that debt for us.

We are all drowning in our sins...the good news is that our life guard is Jesus Christ. He has already rescued us.

We are given the hope of Heaven. Hell is not in our future because of Jesus.

Jesus does the supernatural; He goes against all of history. He defeated our two greatest enemies, sin and death.

Romans 1:16 NKJV

[16] For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

He is not ashamed, when we are not ashamed we will tell others. Are you ashamed of the Gospel?

Have you been moved to tell others?

God commands and commissions us to share the Gospel. Are you excited about telling others?

Lightning is hotter than the surface of the sun. One bolt has enough power to power a home for 60 days. All that power is too powerful for our current technology to harness it.

We know that lightning is brewing over Angels Stadium. We need all the people we can to help try to harness that power of the Gospel.
