The World vs. The Gospel
The world: You are great. Believe in yourself. You can do everything you put your mind to. The Gospel: God is great. Believe in Him. He can and has done everything. The world: You are not in need. You are awesome. The Gospel: You have more of a need than you realize. God is awesome. The World: Save yourself from sorrow. Build your kingdom here on earth. The Gospel: Jesus saves you from your deepest sorrow—your sin. Build his kingdom here on earth. The world: Life is about you. Make your best choices. The Gospel: Life is about living for a greater purpose. Make the best choice—Jesus. --Pastor Ben
