What is the Gospel?
- The Gospel Lens Analogy
- The Gospel through Story – Bible Project video
- The Gospel through Concepts – Knowing God Personally article
- The gospel lens analogy from A Gospel Primer by Milton Vincent explains why we need to remember and communicate the gospel through both concepts and story in order to get the full picture of the beauty of the gospel. The Bible Project does a great job at showing the gospel narrative and the Knowing God Personally presentation is a great example of the gospel through concepts.
Applying the Gospel
- Biblical Themes – Bible Project video
- Systematic Themes – Bible Project playlist
- A great start to applying the gospel to everyday life is to increase gospel fluency. Gospel themes can be from the overarching story of the Bible (biblical theology themes) or from God’s character (systematic theology themes).
