Announcing the Condell Winter Worship Series (2014): Gospel–I Love to Tell the Story

Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

With so many competing ideas as to what should be preached from the pulpit, we run the risk of forgetting the most important thing to preach: The Gospel. 

I love to tell the Gospel story…as faith testimonies…as explanations of what the Gospel means, why it’s important, what it accomplishes, and what power rests firmly within it.  

Pastors and lay-preachers, please select a date that works for you and let me know.  I would like to leave the texts open so that you may Love to Tell the Story as only you can.

Thanks for your help in this ministry.  We are blessed for your involvement.  Barbara <><

 I Love to Tell the Story

I love to tell the story of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story, because I know ’tis true;
It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do.

Refrain

I love to tell the story, ’twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.

I love to tell the story; more wonderful it seems
Than all the golden fancies of all our golden dreams.
I love to tell the story, it did so much for me;
And that is just the reason I tell it now to thee.

Refrain

I love to tell the story; ’tis pleasant to repeat
What seems, each time I tell it, more wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the story, for some have never heard
The message of salvation from God’s own holy Word.

Refrain

I love to tell the story, for those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song,
’Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long.

Refrain
