How does the Gospel “work?”

1. Huge News that changes my status forever.

What is the Gospel? The Gospel is the Good News of the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

2. Holy Spirit’s Work - Bringing the Supernatural into the Natural.

Luke 1:34-35 - And Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be, since I have no husband?” 35 And the angel said to her,
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you;
therefore the child to be born will be called holy,
the Son of God.

3. Humble Submission - We humbly submit to this New Life.

Luke 1:38 - And Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.”

4. Horticultural Growth - The Gospel begins as a seed.
