The Gospel of Jesus Christ
 (Click title to open the full lesson)

 

Read Galatians 1:11-16.  The Gospel Paul preached did not come from any man, but was a revelation of Jesus Christ.  But what was this gospel he began to preach?  The simple answer is I Corinthians 15.  

Body: 

I.  The Good News  (Verses 1-2)  (I Corinthians 15:1-2)

II.  Of First Importance  (Verses 3-5)  (I Corinthians 15:3-5)

III.  The Second Coming  (Verses 20-28)  (I Corinthians 15:20-28)

Jesus’ second coming completes the story.  At His coming, everyone will rise from their graves.  (John 5:28-29)  The faithful will meet Him in the air.  (I Thessalonians 4:16-18)  He will have conquered all dominion, authority, and power as well as death. 

Conclusion: 

Read Romans 1:1-6.  “To bring about the obedience of faith”  This is the goal of the gospel story.

The Gospel:  The Power of God

 (Click title to open the full lesson)

 

Jesus told His disciples to “go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”  (Mark 16:15)  “And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.’ ” NKJV  What was that “gospel”?  It was the good news that salvation was offered through Jesus Christ.  God doesn’t want anyone to be lost.  (II Peter 3:9)  “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” NKJV  Scripture further reveals that there is only one gospel which is referred to as the “one faith” in Ephesians 4:5.  “one Lord, one faith, one baptism;” NKJV  The apostle Paul also declared the uniqueness of the gospel of Christ.  (Galatians 1:6-8)  “I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.  But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.” NKJV  The gospel is God’s power to save mankind.  (Romans 1:16-17)  “in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.  Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God,” NKJV  (I Corinthians 1:18)  “ For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God,” NKJV  One way to summarize the content of this gospel is that it contains facts to believe, commands to obey, and promises to receive.

Body:

I.  Facts to Believe

II.  Commands to Obey

III.  Promises to Receive

Conclusion:

The gospel is truly God’s power to save.  This salvation is a gift by God’s grace.  (Romans 3:23-24)  “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,” NKJV

The Gospel of Isaiah, Pt 1 (The Messiah)
 (Click title to open the full lesson)

 

You have heard of the four accounts of the gospel. But have you heard of the gospel according to Isaiah? Elements of the gospel were foretold by Old Testament prophets; the coming of the Messiah as well as the establishment of his Kingdom. One such prophet was Isaiah who lived 750 years before Christ. The book of Isaiah is filled with so many prophecies about the Messiah and his Kingdom. 

1.   THE MESSIAH & WHO HE WOULD BE

2.   WHAT HIS MINISTRY WOULD BE LIKE

3.   THE MESSIAH’S KINGDOM

God will have joy in his people when Christ comes, Isaiah 65: 18- 19. Power of death destroyed when Christ comes Isaiah 65: 20 Satan defeated Isaiah 65: 25. Fulfilled in Colossians 2: 15. The wolf and the lamb Isaiah 11: 6- 10 Messiah and his Kingdom.  The joy of salvation. Everything changed when Christ came.
