Purpose of the Gospel

Due to recent events in our world, such as wars in the Middle East, tensions within Israel, the fatal shooting of a political activist and Christian on a college campus, governmental policies supporting biblical principles, growing campaigns for ecumenicalism, and the rise of social media, more and more people are speaking openly about Christ, Christianity, the Gospel and its purpose. Some accurately, and some inaccurately. While this interest and dialogue increases, more and more are increasingly confused about Christ, the gospel, and the purpose of the Gospel. In this episode, we clearly answer:1) What is the Gospel? 2) What is the Purpose of the Gospel? 3) What is the Promise of the Gospel?, in order to encourage and protect the listener in the gospel truth of Jesus Christ.
