The Gospel

July 4, 2024

We use the word "Gospel" all the time in churches. So... what exactly is it? Listen in as McGregor, Suzanne, and Rex chat through the Gospel of scripture. We reference a lot of the Bible in this episode, so as promised, here is a list of verses: Matthew 4:17 Mark 1:15 Luke 4:43 John 3 Acts 1:3 Genesis 1-3 Exodus 15, Exodus 1-24: God becomes king (first used in Exod 15:18) when (1) he confronts evil and (2) forms a redeemed people, (3) who are then invited to live under the king’s reign in a covenant relationship. 2 Samuel 7 Psalms 2, 72, 93-100 Isaiah (chs. 1-2, 9, 11, 52, 65-66), Daniel (chs. 2 and 7). The word “kingdom” refers to an activity (“God’s reign” over a people: Daniel 4:3, 34), and then to a covenant people in a specific place (“God’s kingdom” = God’s people under his rule: Psalm 145:9-13). Acts 8:12 - Philip is preaching the Kingdom of God. Acts 19:8 - Paul & Barnabus are preaching the Kingdom of God Acts 20:25 - Paul is preaching the Kingdom Acts 28:23 - It’s Concerning Jesus, from the Law/Prophets (OT Scriptures) Acts 28:31 - Summary of Paul’s ministry - preaching the good news about the Kingdom. James 2:5 - receiving/inheriting the Kingdom as a result of the response to the Good News. 2 Peter 1:11 - Entrance into the Kingdom is a result of trust and allegiance to Jesus - the same kind of trust and allegiance that the Apostles have. Revelation 11:15 - Heavenly messengers announce the good news of the arrival of New Creation - when God’s Kingdom comes in its entirety. Revelation 12:10 - The Announcement of Victory over Evil Acts 2:14-47 - Saving Story of Jesus, framed by the Hebrew Scriptures. Romans 1:1-6 - Saving Story of Jesus, framed by the story of Scripture 1 Corinthians 15:1-28 (with a little discursive in the middle) - Saving Story of Jesus, framed by Scripture.
