The gospel that Isaiah preached that spoke of a new day for God’s people and for the world (see Isaiah 40:9; 52:7; 61:1). This new day would show the true God and Creator making good on His commitments to bless His creation by claiming, cleansing, guiding, and empowering a people for Himself.
The gospel that is the story of God’s work through creation and history to create this people and, through them, to bless and redeem the world.
The gospel of Jesus Christ – that in His life, death, resurrection, and Lordship that God has said “yes” to all these commitment and promises and has fulfilled, and will continue to fulfill, the story of His rule and grace in human history. The gospel says that Jesus is Lord and that every other blessing to the church and to the world flows from His Lordship.
The gospel that tells us that God is with us and our children. With us to give eternal life, full forgiveness, heavenly joy and glory, and earthly usefulness. With us in grace and Presence to help us know and dwell with Him, love and fear Him, obey and worship Him. With us in the Spirit to help us love each other, walk in the fruits of heaven, and give ourselves to Him so that we might be a blessing to the world.
We hope you find this website useful and encouraging and that it speaks throughout of the beauty and glory of Jesus Christ and the greatness of the gospel. And we hope and pray that God will help our body be one that is full of Christ and useful in manifesting and spreading His kingship for many generations.
