The Gospel Sermon Series

I am in the process of planning a long sermon series on the gospel. As of today I have 32 topics planned. I am not sure they will all make it this go around, and I'm sure more will come to mind as I continue to pray, think, and work through this. Below is what I have so far. I would gladly welcome any thoughts and/or additions to this list. My goal is to first get the gospel out there, with a Biblical understanding of the gospel. After all, Paul said deserting the gospel is deserting Him who calls in the grace of Christ (Gal. 1:6). However, I've also thought much lately about the application of the gospel. If the good news is that we can be saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus, then it ought to affect how we live everyday and in every circumstance. That's my hope. Help me out, please!

I love your ideas about the Gospel Sermon Series.

Just my 2 cents: it appears to me that several of these topics could easily be combined into one message.

Examples: The Gospel and Ordinances (#26 and #27); The Gospel and Leadership Roles (#24 and #25).

Dan,

I agree with you. I think there are some that certainly can (and probably will) be combined. As I preach through this and prepare the messages I'll realize more of this. And, by the way, your 2 cents are always welcomed and appreciated!
