(Part 1 of 5) - What is the gospel and what is its message? Can you answer this question with complete confidence? This episode will help you understand the gospel and hopefully help you construct this message for yourself (meaning in your own words). The gospel is truly good news and it's the perfect response to our bad news: our current condition is that we are hopelessly and helplessly stuck in our sin, resulting in separation from our Creator, and also trapped as citizens of this fallen, broken world. Praise God for the gospel, indeed because His response - Jesus on a cross and the empty grave - is the best news anyone could hear.
