#61 The Gospel Does Not Stop With You

The gospel was never meant to stop with you. It was meant to move through you. In the conclusion of the Run Your Mouth series, Pastor Tim Riddick challenges us to consider what happens when the church possesses the most powerful message in history but keeps it trapped inside four walls. The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus are not private treasures to protect. They are good news to proclaim. Jesus did not suggest that we go, He commanded it: “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel” (Mark 16:15). That mission does not belong only to pastors and missionaries. It belongs to every person who has been changed by Christ. But before the gospel can pour through us, it must continue filling us. Colossians 1:22–23 reminds us that through Jesus, we have been reconciled and presented holy and blameless before God. We share from that settled place not from guilt, pressure, or the need to save anyone ourselves. You are not the Savior. You are the witness. Preach the gospel to yourself every morning. Share it with the person God has placed before you. The world does not need a polished performance it needs believers willing to open their mouths and tell the truth about Jesus.
