The Whole Story: A Life in God's Kingdom, the Word of GodSample
The Gospel
Description:
The gospel, literally translated as “the good news”, is the story of Jesus Christ – including his life, teachings, miracles, death, and resurrection. Through his story, God’s family can find their place in the narrative of their redemption, and place hope in the perfect kingship of Jesus. To accept the gospel as truth is to take a step towards declaring one’s loyalty to YHWH and entrance into the kingdom of God.

Discussion & Reflection: Before the resurrection of Jesus, only priests were able to enter into the direct presence of God. Jesus paid the highest price and became the ultimate sacrifice that would allow us to commune with God and experience his direct presence. Could you imagine life before Jesus’ sacrifice? How does spending time in God’s presence shift your circumstances?
