The Life-Changing Gospel
Good News for Everyone
Aug 16, 20261 Corinthians 15:1-4
As we kick off our series, Good News for Everyone, Pastor Scott preaches from 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.
Though our key verses are 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, we also walk through the Romans Road, a path Christians have used for many years to communicate the gospel. As we walk down this road, we’ll clearly see what the gospel is and why it really is good news for everyone.
If you’ve been wondering what the gospel is and what it means for you today, or if you’re struggling with shame or guilt over your sin, this message is for you!

Good News for Everyone
“The Life-Changing Gospel” 1 Corinthians 15:1-4
“Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures…” 1 Corinthians 15:1-4
“The Gospel is shallow enough for a baby to come and drink without fear of drowning and deep enough for theologians to swim in without ever touching the bottom.” Jerome
“Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures…” 1 Corinthians 15:1-4
