The sermon will explore the universal accessibility of the gospel, emphasizing that it is available to all without bias or hindrance, as prophesied in the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New through Christ.
Welcome back church, today we are wrapping up our Unhindered sermon series with our final sermon, Unhindered Gospel. Over the past few weeks we’ve looked at how the final word of Acts leaves us with the greatest clue for how to live as followers of Christ in the modern world. “Unhindered” may be the last word of Acts, but it’s the first word for those who put their hope, faith, and trust in the risen King Jesus.
Through Him we experience; The unhindered Kingdom, Unhindered forgiveness, Unhindered power, And as we’ll see today, an unhindered gospel.
The word "gospel" comes from the Old English word "godspel," which means "good news." It is derived from the Greek word "euangelion," which also means "good news."

And as followers of Christ, we are to spread the light of the gospel to all nations.
Being a light to all nations is a phrase found in the Old Testament, particularly in Isaiah 49:6, where God says to his servant, "It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth."
