The gospel is the good news of what Jesus Christ has done to save us and restore us into right relationship with God. For many Christians, however, the assumption is that the gospel is for the unbeliever, a set of “ABC” basics that enable people to enter into the kingdom of God.
Paul’s letter to the Galatians powerfully reminds us that the gospel is not just for the unbeliever, but for the believer as well. It’s not just the “ABC” basics, but the A to Z of the Christian life. It’s not just how the kingdom of God is entered, but how life takes place within it.
Gospel Life is a series of messages devoted to understanding how the good news of Jesus Christ shapes the life of his people from beginning to end. It’s never something the Christian can move on from, rather it is what the Christian life is always moving through.

You see them everywhere you go. Christian catchphrases printed on plastic and slapped on someone’s bumper—as enigmatic as they are ubiquitous. They are the taglines of well-intending people of faith seeking to communicate something profound to a world listening at 140 characters at a time.
“And you will be my witnesses.” (Acts 1:8)
An old adage says, “If God seems far away, guess who moved.” The point being that when God seems absent it must be our fault. But the Book of Job tells a story that breaks from that conventional wisdom. Job is so holy in heart and life that even God says he is blameless and upright. Yet one day a series of unspeakable catastrophes fall on Job. His world is shattered; his grief is unbearable. And worst of all, Job finds that in his time of greatest need, God is nowhere to be found—and Job insists that he is not the one who has moved.
