What is the best news you’ve ever received? Was it your wife saying, “yes!”? Maybe it was hearing about a certain college, job offer, or promotion? Maybe it was news that a love one made it out of surgery or was found alive and well. Good news comes in many forms. In the Bible, there is a word defined as “good news” – The Gospel. The Gospel is the BEST news ever to be heard or shared. But, there are a lot of voices out there telling us their “gospel” is The Gospel. In this message, Pastor Jon discusses what the TRUE Gospel is and how we can always differentiate it from imposters.

Galatians 1:1-12

1 Paul, an apostle—not from men or by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead—2 and all the brothers who are with me: To the churches of Galatia. 3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father. 5 To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. 6 I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from him who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—7 not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, a curse be on him! 9 As we have said before, I now say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, a curse be on him! 10 For am I now trying to persuade people, or God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. 11 For I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel preached by me is not of human origin. 12 For I did not receive it from a human source and I was not taught it, but it came by a revelation of Jesus Christ.
