The Gospel's Power and Message

One of the greatest crimes of this generation of Christians is its neglect of the gospel, and it is from this neglect that all our other maladies spring forth. Absent from too many pulpits are the essential themes which make up the very core of the gospel--the justice of God, the radical depravity of man, the blood atonement. In The Gospel's Power and Message , Paul Washer addresses these essential elements of Christ's good news and provides a guide to help us rediscover the gospel in all its beauty, scandal, and saving power.

May such a rediscovery transform your life, strengthen your proclamation, and bring the greatest glory to God. Table of Contents: Part One: An Apostolic Introduction 1. A Gospel to Know and Make Known 2.

Christ's Ascension as the Judge of All Series Descriptions Although the Recovering the Gospel Series does not represent an entirely systematic presentation of the gospel, it does address most of the essential elements, especially those that are most neglected in contemporary Christianity. It is the hope of the author that these words might be a guide to help you rediscover the gospel in all its beauty, scandal, and saving power. It is his prayer that such a rediscovery might transform your life, strengthen your proclamation, and bring the greatest glory to God.
