February 9, 2020
Mark 8:27-31
I Corinthians 15:3-5

Disciple-making- intentionally entering into someone’s life to help them know and follow Jesus.

 “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near!”  Matthew 3:2 (CSB)

 “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”  Mark 1:15 (CSB)

 THE CONTENT OF THE KINGDOM GOSPEL

1.   JESUS IS THE MESSIAH.

“For I passed on to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,” I Corinthians 15:3-4 (CSB)

 “He said to them, ‘How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken!’...Then beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He interpreted for them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.” Luke 24:25, 27 (CSB)

2.   JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS.

“The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, ‘Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!’” John 1:29 (ESV)

“For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed His life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when He held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past.” Romans 3:25 (NLT)

3.   JESUS WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD.

“…that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.”  I Corinthians 15:4 (CSB)

“He died for everyone so that those who receive His new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.” II Corinthians 5:15 (NLT)
