What Is The Gospel? - With Adam Kaloostian

How beautiful are the feet of those who are sent to proclaim glad tidings of peace!
Most people have heard the term “The Gospel,” but what does it really mean when it comes to the Christian faith and church leadership? In Part Two of their conversation, Rev. Adam Kaloostian and Pastor Chris Gordon get down to the heart of this eternal and amazing gift. They discuss the understanding of theology and obedience, and address some misconceptions about justification, sanctification and predestination. They recognize the war between evil and the Spirit’s good works within us and how God could have reigned down judgment from the beginning, but instead, announced the good news and sent out preachers everywhere to set people free. What a great God we have!
