What is the Gospel?

May 27, 2008 Print This Post

As I am flying this week, I will be working on some conference messages I am giving over the course of the summer and in several of them, I have been asked to give a message “on the Gospel.”

Normally, this would not be a hard message to give. But I am learning that a lot of people out there have some pretty divergent views on what the Gospel is.

So, here’s my question for you: What is the Gospel?

Without looking anything up in the Bible or anywhere else, give me your answer in the comments section of this post. I am very interested to see what everyone writes. Then, sometime in the next week or so, I’ll post a general outline of my message I am working on.

Growing up in the Lansing area, I wanted nothing more than to get out. My exit strategy included a complex mixture of schemes for an urban church plant, iProducts, and an elaborate Bollywood car chase scene with zombies and catchy techno music.

As a 40 year old man, I find myself entrenched in the Lansing area at a church I love (Riverview), with 4 kids I love more (a high schooler, a junior higher, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and a wife I love the most (Grace).

Instead of planting one church, I dream of helping hundreds get started without ever leaving my home base. I still love my iProducts and use them as tools to help lead and teach the thousands who attend Riverview. And when no one is looking, I blare the techno music and send my unimpressive resume to casting agents for Bollywood zombie films.
