Summary

(Acts 21:8-9) Join Scott Pauley for the first episode In this exciting series as he begins a study called "The Gospel Christian." The word "gospel" literally means "good news" and even contains the idea of "go!" The Christian life is meant to advance the message of Christ to others. A "Gospel Christian" Is someone who not only believes and obeys the gospel, but allows it to control and shape every part of their life. Scott Pauley uses the life of Philip the Evangelist as the Spirit-inspired model of a gospel-centered life, tracing Philip’s ministry from his appointment in Acts 6 to his ministry in Caesarea (Acts 21), noting Philip’s role as an evangelist.
