1: What is the Gospel

God totally loves you! His love is boundless and unconditional. The love of God has shown itself through Jesus Christ. This loving God can be experienced, He is real and He wants nothing more than for you to experience His love personally and to discover the purpose of your life in your relationship with Him.

1 John 4:16 |  Psalms 16:11

1: What is the Gospel?

I LIVE APART FROM GOD

Unfortunately, we do not experience God’s love because we ignore Him. We search everywhere for meaning and fulfillment – but not with God. We don’t trust Him and do not think that He wants the best for us. Going our own way and the selfish actions that result from it are what the Bible calls sin. Sin damages and destroys our relationships with others. Sin keeps us from living the fulfilling life that God intends for us.

Romans 3:23 Isaiah 59:2
