You Are God's Midwife for the New Birth of Others

This week's sermon: "You Are God's Midwife for the New Birth of Others"
Our feelings are not God. God is. Whether we feel like it or not, God has appointed the born-again to be his midwives in bringing about the new birth of others.
And our part is simple: telling the gospel. When God decisively works the new birth, he does so through the essential means of someone speaking his living and abiding word, the gospel of his Son.
But gospel-telling is not something the born-again do merely for the sake of nonbelievers. Gospel-telling becomes the delight of the believer who daily feeds his own soul on the gospel and then freely shares the goodness of what he's tasted with others.
