Gospel (Euangelion) - Wordsmatter Series

What this episode covers

Christians agree that the gospel is important, we just don't seem to be able to agree on what gospel means. Is it good news, the center of our faith, or a message about forgiveness? In this episode, Nick and Matt chat about the sometimes surprising gospel proclamations in the Old Testament and how they help us understand gospel proclamations in the New Testament.
