I Will Not Be Ashamed
Romans 1:8-17
This message calls the church into courageous witness by declaring that believers should not be ashamed of Jesus or passive in the face of spiritual confusion. Set in the transition from Pentecost into summer, the sermon uses biblical agricultural imagery to describe a season of rooting, planting, and preparing for harvest. It also speaks directly to the presence of cults and distorted spiritual authority in Korea, urging the church not to respond with resignation but with faith that the Spirit of God can expose darkness and reveal the true name of Jesus. The message is hopeful because it refuses to let falsehood have the final word. The burden of the sermon is that God is preparing his people to stand with clarity, courage, and conviction in a season that demands spiritual boldness. Refuse to grow passive in a season that calls for spiritual courage and clarity. Let the Holy Spirit deepen your roots so that you are not easily shaken when confusion increases around you. Speak of Jesus without shame and believe that God can expose what is false. Prepare yourself for harvest by staying grounded in truth and prayer. Lord, make us a people who are not ashamed of Jesus. Deepen our roots, sharpen our discernment, and fill us with courage for this season. Let your Spirit expose what is false and reveal your Son with clarity, power, and freedom in this land.

- Refuse to grow passive in a season that calls for spiritual courage and clarity.
