The Gospel Come to Us (1 Corinthians 15:1-5) - a podcast by Don Shoemaker, Steve Williams, and Bob Wriedt

"What is the gospel?"
Has anyone ever asked you that question?
If you've been through our membership class here at the church - Grace 101 - you might remember being asked that question near the beginning of the first class.
Some common responses are:
"Matthew, Mark, Luke and John" (those are the gospels and contain the message of the gospel, so in the ballpark)
"Good News" (yes that's what the word, "gospel," means)
"The redemption of mankind" (also a good response)
"A new mercedes, no sickness, and a bigger house" (nope - that's a different gospel)
"The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus" (very good)
Whatever the response, we typically think of the gospel in terms of what it "is" or what it "did" in our lives. Fine, but how about what it does…what it continues to do? The gospel's work is ongoing and present. The gospel has movement, intention, goals, an agenda.
What the gospel does is profound and to experience more of its profundity - with others - join us on Sunday!
Many blessings,
Pastor Tim
Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
