Hi, this is Justin. Today on Theocast, we're going to talk about what is and is not the gospel.

There are a number of things that are talked about in the church today that are offered essentially as the good news of Jesus Christ, but they are not.

These things would include repentance, faith, obedience, discipleship,

and surrender all to Christ, just to name few. We're going to talk about each of these,

and then seek to clarify what exactly is the good news of Jesus Christ for sinners. We hope

this is encouraging. We hope it's helpful and clarifying. Stay tuned.

Welcome to Theokast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ.

Conversations about the Christian life from a reform perspective.

Our hosts today are John Moffat, pastor of Grace Reform Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee,

Jimmy Bueller, pastor of Christ Community Church in Wilmer, Minnesota,

and myself, Justin Purdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Wilmer, Minnesota, and myself, Justin Purdue,

pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina. It is good to be around the microphone

with my boys, my brothers, for the first time in the year of our Lord 2021. I think I can speak for all

of us, as the memes would indicate as we look on social media,

that 2021 is not much different than 2020 thus far.

And many people are ready to send that thing back and get a new one as far as just how life is going.

Things are still difficult.

Yeah.
