Planting the Seeds of the Gospel in Fields of Rejection

Kaleo Church

One of the things that makes sharing the Gospel so difficult is the prospect of being rejected. Often, we spend a lot of energy trying to discern if people are ready to hear the Gospel or if they will be offended by it or if they are going to shut us down. We love sharing the Gospel with people who want to hear it, but we don’t see much good in sharing the Gospel with people who don’t seem very open. In this passage, Paul shows us that we are to share the Gospel without being controlled by how people respond. You see, the seeds of the Gospel were always intended to be planted in fields of rejection.
