Summary: The key to a solid Gospel Foundation is the understanding of the Gospel’s Purpose & Power.

Key Scripture: (Romans 1:16–17) For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”

Important Takeaway:

• The purpose of the Gospel is to proclaim the good news of what God has done in and through Jesus Christ, so that people will respond by repentance and fellowship within the church as we wait for the return of Christ.

• We have been saved from the penalty of sin | Believe + Confess

• We are being saved from the power of sin | Repent + Obey

• We will be saved from the presence of sin | Display + Declare

Conclusion: We need both the power of the gospel and the purpose of the gospel. God’s power to save past, present, and future and the story he is writing that we are a part of.
