To preach the gospel is to show people their need for salvation against a backdrop of God's nature and the character of sin, and then present Jesus as the only remedy for what ails them and the world. In my weekly preaching in the worship services I always call people to believe in Christ.

The Gospel is this: You're more sinful, evil and weak than you'd ever believe. But you're more valued, accepted and loved than you dared hope.

Money isn't an idol. It just shows you where your idols are.

Faith is not primarily a function of how you feel. Faith is living out and believing what truth is despite what you feel.

As things are brought back under Christ's rule and authority, they are restored to health, beauty, and freedom.

Repentance is like antiseptic. You pour antiseptic onto a wound and, at first, it stings. Then it heals.

The key question in order to change you is not 'What would Jesus do?' but "What has Jesus done for you?"
