Preaching [About] the Gospel

April 8, 2020

Summary

In this episode, Jon and Justin discuss preaching the gospel. It's been our observation that guys will get fired up about preaching the gospel, they will give the facts of the gospel, and talk a lot about the gospel--without ever offering Jesus to sinners and heralding the grace of God in Christ. In the Members podcast, we cover preaching about sin and obedience in light of the gospel. We also discuss Christ-centered preaching--what it is and what it isn't.

Hi, this is Justin.

00:00:03

Today on Theocast, we will be discussing preaching about the gospel.

00:00:08

It's been an observation that John and I have made many times that you will hear guys talk a lot about preaching the gospel, and they will describe the gospel and give the facts of the gospel, but then yet

00:00:21

will never actually offer the sinner Christ and will never actually preach the grace of God in Christ by which sinners are saved.

00:00:31

So there's a lot of talking about the gospel, but not a lot of preaching the gospel legitimately.

00:00:36

We're going to consider that.

00:00:37

And then in the members' podcast, we talk about preaching sin and obedience in light of the gospel.

00:00:43

And we also talk about Christ-centered preaching, what it is, and what it isn't.

00:00:48

We hope this conversation is encouraging to you.

00:00:50

Stay tuned.
