Hook: What gets you really fired up?

I. THE BAD NEWS
"The gospel is only good news when we understand the bad news." - R.C. Sproul

II. THE GOOD NEWS
"The Gospel is a rescue. ... Christianity is a rescue religion.” – J.B. Lightfoot

III. THE NO NEWS
"There is no middle ground between Christian righteousness and works-righteousness. If you do not build your confidence on the work of Christ you must build your confidence on your own work.” – Martin Luther

Takeaway: The fear of man lays a snare (Proverbs 29:25).
