The Forgotten Part of the Gosp...

Summary
What is the gospel? Rightly, many people point to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus--through which we are forgiven of sin, absolved of guilt, counted righteous, and promised to be raised from the dead. Praise God for that! But, there are parts of the gospel that tend to be left out or assumed. Jesus intercedes and advocates for us at the right hand of God. He has given us his Spirit. He reigns from the throne of God. And he is coming back for us. All of these things matter for our assurance and peace! Semper Reformanda: The guys talk pointedly about the return of Christ. We discuss the implications of this for the mission of the church, as well as why Christ's return is such good news for us. Scripture references: Hebrews 1:3-4, 7:23-25, 10:11-14 1 John 2:1-2 Romans 8:9-11, 31-34 1 Peter 3:22 Revelation 21:3-5 John 5:22-27, 16, 20 Resources: Sermon: John 20:11-18 – The Missing Part of the Gospel (Jon Moffitt) Giveaway: "The Gospel Driven Life" by Michael Horton SUPPORT Theocast: https://theocastorg.wpengine.com/give/ https://youtu.be/mMzJgj6EAGA Podcast Transcript Coming soon...

Hi, this is John.
And today on Theocast, I'm going to ask you this question.
What is the gospel?
Most would say it's his life, death, and resurrection.
And we're super thankful for the cleansing of our sins and the righteousness that we've received.
But is that the entire gospel?
Well, Justin and I are going to argue that it's not.
There's been a very important part that's been left off, and it does affect our encouragement and our daily assurance.
Stay tuned.

Welcome to Theocast, Encouraging Weary Pilgrims to Rest in Christ.
Conversations about the Christian life from a reformed and pastoral perspective.
Today, your hosts are Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina.
And I am John Moffat.
I am the pastor of Grace Reform Church in Springhill, Tennessee, which it is also beautiful, just south of Nashville, Tennessee.
Justin, my friend, one of my favorite points of my week is to talk to you about Christ, and we've already had a wonderful time just sipping coffee and thinking about the future and encouraging one another.
But we have a pretty epic book giveaway today.
And why don't you tell the people what we're giving away?
