Lexicon, Pt 1: Gospel

Message by Todd Crosthwaite, Lead Pastor Lexicon: words church people use Words reveal what you believe to be true, AND words influence what you believe to be true. _______________ GOSPEL _______________ What is the gospel? Romans 1:1-3 the gospel is fundamentally about Jesus Romans 1:16 the gospel establishes a new way of being human About preaching the gospel: Matthew 28:19-20 Mark 16:15 Acts 1:8 John 20:21 “The Gospels are the gospel.” Mark 1:14-15 Euangelion: “good news” The gospel is the good news that God's kingdom has come near in the Person of Jesus. Isaiah 61 The Kingdom of God here in the present // coming in the future unlike the kingdoms of this world expands and grows through love Romans 1:17 gospel reveals God's righteousness (the way that God makes things right in the world) “It’s all on me, and it’s for you!”
