Concretely, we intend to live in the kingdom of God by intending to obey the precise example and teachings of Jesus. This is the form that trust in him takes. It does not take the form of merely believing things about him, however true they may be. Indeed, no one can actually believe the truth about him without trusting him by intending to obey him.” ― Dallas Willard, Renovation of the Heart: Putting On the Character of Christ Today we take a deeper look at the topic of faith in what it means to believe.

We're kicking of the 3rd season of the Scratchpad Podcast, taking a look at the bits that didn't quite make it into the sermon. Tim Keller says: "The gospel has been described as a pool in which a toddler can wade and yet an elephant can swim. It is both simple enough to tell to a child and profound enough for the greatest minds to explore." We swim a little deeper into the Gospel in this series. ~~~ Show notes EP23 Gospel of God 1 Preach: https://subspla.sh/95pgzp3 Passage https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+cor+15&version=ESV;NIV;NKJV Books mentioned The King Jesus Gospel by Scot McKnight https://www.zondervan.com/9780310492986/the-king-jesus-gospel/ https://www.amazon.com/King-Jesus-Gospel-Original-Revisited/dp/0310531454 https://www.takealot.com/the-king-jesus-gospel/PLID41414985
