Nathanael was invited to follow Jesus, but responded with scoffing. Jesus engaged him by valuing his skepticism & questions, but didn’t “prove” himself intellectually. Rather, he showed Nathanael truth & beauty: Jesus is the true Logos, the only bridge between heaven & earth, & the answer everyone is truly seeking. We engage skepticism (our own & others) by seeking the true question, then seeing how Christianity alone makes sense of life, morality, & human value. Jesus alone gives truth & beauty to a world of competing thoughts & brokenness. In addition to Jesus’ incarnation (which brought God’s truth & beauty to earth), Jesus later went to the cross, & sent the Spirit to bring heaven to earth for & through his people.

The first of our Fall series about being a Good News People.

Jesus prays a shocking prayer during his Last Supper: that God would not remove his followers from the world, but empower & protect us as they go into it. Jesus still sends his followers into the world to share this good news! The gospel is utterly counter-cultural, even offensive! God's answer starts with remembering who we are in Christ, & what God & others did for us — and loving/praying for God & others more than ourselves. Only then will we display & declare the gospel as good news. Jesus promises that we go with his authority, Spirit, & protection — then he sealed those promises through his death/resurrection. 

Primary text is John 17:12-18. Slide deck linked here

When you are fluent in a language, you're able to live and communicate clearly without an abundance of effort. With that definition in mind, what does it mean to be fluent in the gospel? How would our lives be different if we had an understanding and an awareness of the gospel that was as deep as our understanding of our native language?

This August, Salt+Light will consider what a gospel-fluent life looks like and steps we can take to grow in this area. Here's a hint: The gospel isn't just something that happened 2,000 years ago. The good news of Jesus is as relevant and important today as it ever has been, and that should affect how we live our lives.
