The Gospel and the Word

In this message, Pastor Mike Jenkins challenges believers to move past religious terminology and step into an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. By examining how the Gospel was preached long before the New Testament was ever written, this teaching connects the Old Testament promises directly to our modern lives, proving that God's plan for your redemption has been in motion since the very beginning. -- We are fully commissioned to share our faith because we are the unique salt and light in our specific workplaces and neighborhoods. -- Repentance and the Kingdom of Heaven were the central, identical opening messages of both John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. -- The law acts as a strict measuring stick that reveals our shortfalls, proving that no human can follow it perfectly in letter or spirit. -- Cleansing from sin requires a bloody sacrifice of an innocent life, a requirement fully and permanently satisfied by Jesus as the Lamb of God. -- The Old Testament contains the Gospel in promise form, revealing a complete redemption plan through Abraham, Moses, and David.
