The Believer Not Ashamed of the Gospel

"The Believer Not Ashamed of the Gospel" by Edward Hoare is a spiritually uplifting message from 1850 that encourages listeners to embrace and share their Christian faith. It was originally spoken as a sermon for the Church of England Young Men's Society. The talk centers around the idea that believers should be proud of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, rather than embarrassed. The speaker shares that the Gospel should be celebrated because it comes from God, offers salvation, and welcomes all. The message notes worries about people prioritizing worldly things over God's grace, then reminds them that the Gospel is a powerful, divine gift that can save anyone who believes. The main purpose of the sermon is to fill young Christians with confidence and inspire them to spread the Gospel actively and without shame.
