In the Unstoppable Gospel, Gregg Matte joins a unique insightfulness into the book of Acts with a modern application. By looking carefully at the life of the early church and applying descriptive principles of the early church for the church of our modern era, the reader is both challenged and encouraged about the power of the Gospel of Jesus. Matte’s conviction of this point is expressed in the title. The Gospel is unstoppable.
Matte works through the first half of the book of Acts in this book. He emphasizes the key qualities of the first Christians that led to the propulsion of the Gospel during the church’s early years. Matte has a skill for unpacking these qualities and expounding on truth for the modern church. Coupling those truths with testimonies from his church, Houston’s First Baptist, as well as many other powerful illustrations from history and personal perspective he communicates the power of Jesus and His effectiveness for us today.
For Pastor and layman alike this book will provide encouragement about personal disciplines in the faith, disciplines like prayer, fasting, Bible study, and service. Matte also emphasizes the power of influence one can have by focusing on generosity in financial stewardship, as well as investment personally in missions.
In Unstoppable Gospel, there is a message that will encourage and motivate the reader to stronger commitment of faith, greater hope in the power of Jesus, and the importance of each person’s participation in the church’s mission.
