It's hard to explain something as simple as soccer in a few minutes. How much harder to summarize the Gospel! In this presentation we watch a cool dude with a traditional message, and then think about the pros and cons of both his presentation, and the theology underlying it.

1. What Is
The
Gospel?

3. This Is A Safe Space
This is a place to:
• articulate your
opinions
• Listen to each other
• Fly theological kites
• Bear patiently with
each other

5. Question
What is soccer?

6. Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages,
teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming
the good news of the kingdom, and curing every
disease and every sickness.
Matthew 9:35

7. A Harder Question

10. Questions
• How did that video
make you feel? Get it
out of your system.
• What was good about
it?
• What was less good
about it?

11. Verticality
• Is the Gospel
something we do –
or is it something
God does?

12. Ethics
• Is the Good News
about ethics?

13. Personalism
• Does the Gospel
have something to
do with Jesus?
• If so, what?

14. Communityability
• Is the Good News
something purely
about me, or is there
a community side to
it?

15. A Possible Statement?
In Jesus Christ’s life, death, and resurrection,
God has intervened decisively to the world,
reconciling us to Godself

16. Blessing
Christ the Sun of Righteousness shine upon you,
scatter the darkness from before your path,
and make you ready to meet him when he comes in glory
And the blessing of God, the Father, the Son and the Holy
Spirit be amongst us and remain with us ever more.
Amen
