Left Behind: Have We Moved On from the Gospel?
October 28, 2020
Summary
Though we would never say it this way, it often seems that the gospel is just the starting point of the Christian life--and that once we believe, we need to move on to other things. Jon and Justin consider how this happens and what it means for people in the church. Members' Podcast: Jon and Justin talk about the "taste and see" reality of a church where the gospel permeates everything in the life of the congregation.

Hi, this is John, and today on Theocast, we have a conversation about moving past the gospel.
How the gospel really is the beginning point for many, but it's not the point of the Christian life.
The Christian life really is involved with more.
We enter into the Christian life through the gospel, but we don't necessarily see it as the point or that which drives our everyday life.
And then in the members podcast, Justin, I try and explain that experience that you have when you're in a church and the gospel becomes the center point of every aspect of the church service and even the church life
compared to a church that assumes the gospel.
They tack it on at the end as maybe an invitation.
We hope you enjoy.
