How To Be Beautiful

Pt. Dave Kenney

Romans 10:11-15

The value of the message
for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:13

The way to reconcile with with God, you can't call on to the Lord, unless you belief in Him.
If you are here and you know the Lord, it is only because someone told you about Him. So, someone got to go and tell.

The Joy of the message
What does Paul mean when he quotes Isaiah 52:7

3 For this is what the Lord says;

"You were sold for nothing,
and without money yo will be redeemed." - by the Lord

4 For this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

"At first my people went down to Egypt to live;
lately, Assyria has oppressed them. -God has redeemed them from Egypt but now back to slavery once again.

5 "And now what do I have here?" declares the Lord.

"For my people have been taken away for nothing,
and those who rule them mock, "declares the Lord.
"And all day long my name is constantly blasphemed. - people started to question the Lord.

6 Therefore my people will know my name;

therefore in that day they will know
that it is I who foretold it.
Yes, it is I." - circumstance will start to change.

7 How beautiful on the mountains

are the feet of those who bring good news,
who proclaim peace,
who bring good tidings,
who proclaims salvation,
who say to Zion,
"Your God reigns!"

8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices;

together they shout for joy.
When the Lord returns to Zion,
they will see it with their own eyes. - you've been in captivity but God will bring joy again.

9 Burst into songs of joy together,

you ruins of Jerusalem,
for the Lord has comforted His people,
He has redeemed Jerusalem.

10 The Lord will lay bare His holy arm - God's showing His power

in the sight of all the nations,
and all the ends of the earth will see
the salvation of our God.
About God in His deliverance!
Paul knows that God will redeemed His people, over and over, and over again!

The Beauty in the message

Key thoughts:
1. Preach
How then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? Romans 10:14

2. Sent
And how can they preach unless they are sent?

You are either a goer, or a sender!
