Introduction:  (Romans 1:16)

Truth Statements:

The Kingdom of God is near.  (Mark 1:14-17)

Jesus is the Christ.  (Mark 8:27-31)

Jesus died for our sins and was buried.  (1 Cor. 15:1-5)

Jesus was resurrected and was seen.   (1 Cor. 15:1-5)

Our Response:

Repent of sin.  (Mark 1:14-17)

Believe the good news.  (Mark 1:14-17)

Follow Jesus.  (Mark 1:14-17)

A response to the gospel is more than just a

one-time transaction.  It is also a daily

offering of yourself, resulting in a lifetime of transformation.
