1. The Gospel in 5 Seconds
1 Corinthians 15:1-4

2. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4

1 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the
gospel which I preached to you, which also you
received and in which you stand, 2 by which
also you are saved, if you hold fast that word
which I preached to you--unless you believed in
vain. 3 For I delivered to you first of all that
which I also received: that Christ died for our
sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He
was buried, and that He rose again the third
day according to the Scriptures,

The gospel is good news

The gospel is the complete story of God's love,
power and desire that all be saved.
