The Power of the Good News

Scott Risley

Romans 1:1-17

The Book of Romans is considered by many to be the clearest and most thorough explanation of the Gospel in scripture. It has influenced many game-changers of the faith, including Martin Luther and John Wesley. This letter makes clear that salvation is by faith alone and, as Paul writes in chapter one, demonstrates that the Gospel "is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes."

Really Great News!

James Rochford

Romans 1:1-17

The Book of Romans is considered by many to be the clearest and most thorough explanation of the Gospel in scripture. This letter makes clear that salvation is by faith alone and, as Paul writes in chapter one, demonstrates that the Gospel "is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes." We can be confident that the Gospel is true and Jesus really is the Son of God by examining the fulfilled prophecies of the Old Testament that point to Christ.

Paul's Testimony

Ben Foust

Acts 25:1-26:32

After a long ministry, Paul's life ends in imprisonment, just as God had revealed it would. Nevertheless, he faithfully shares his story of how Jesus transformed his life and gives the gospel to anyone who will listen. Paul is an example of a life lived faithfully to the end and of God working in even the hardest of circumstances for the good.

The Smell of Victory

Scott Risley

2 Corinthians 2:14-16

Paul uses the tradition of the triumphal entry of a victorious Roman general into the city to explain the victory of Christ on the cross. To some, the Roman parade was a cause for celebration, to others it represented the sentence of death. In the same way, the gospel is a polarizing message for people today.

Paul's Speech to the Jews

Ben Foust

Acts 13:14-52

Paul presents the gospel in Pisidian Antioch, where many people respond favorably, while others do not. Using the Old Testament, he gives evidence that Jesus is the prophesied Messiah, and that God always intended to bring salvation, not just to the Jewish people, but to the whole world.

Peter and Cornelius

Ben Foust

Acts 9:31-10:48

The gospel takes another leap outward, this time to gentiles, as God miraculously orchestrates a meeting between Peter and a Roman centurion named Cornelius. Through this story, we see that God cares about those who are far off and that he wants to use his followers as his messengers, sometimes requiring us to step out of our comfort zone.

The Gospel and Christian Growth

Mike Sullivan

1 Thessalonians 2:1-12

Once we've heard the good news about Jesus' sacrifice and God's grace, what comes next? It's tempting to change the gospel in order to make it more appealing to people (such as salvation through works, not faith). But when the gospel is used properly, it can be a powerful tool for serving in difficult circumstances and encouraging others to grow.

Too Good to Be False

Tom Gilson

1 Thessalonians 2:1-12

The accounts of Jesus Christ as recorded in the gospels paint an incredible picture. We should examine the evidence for the historicity of these accounts. Gilson compares and contrasts several theories and gives practical suggestions on how to dialogue about this topic.
