Specifically, he asked this: “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent?”

If you have come to a saving faith, it is because someone shared God’s Word with you. Maybe it was a pastor. Maybe it was a parent. But someone told you about Jesus, and you responded in faith. And now, guess what? You’ve been sent to share that same gospel with others.

Questions That We’ll Answer:

A) Why did Paul’s heart break for his Jewish contemporaries?

B) What did Israel need? Is God done with His covenant people?

C) Why is the Gospel called the “power of God unto salvation?”
