THE FIVE FACETS OF THE GOSPEL Part Five, The Gospel Demands By Louie Marsh, 9-28-2025 · The Gospel Events - The Death and Resurrection of Jesus · The Gospel Witnesses – Scripture, Apostles Eye-Witness Testimony · The Gospel Affirmations - Jesus is Lord - Jesus is Savior · The Gospel Promises - Forgiveness of sins – the gift of the Holy Spirit 1) The First Gospel Demand · Repent! “37Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” 38And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:37–38, ESV) “19Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,” (Acts 3:19, ESV) “30The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent,” (Acts 17:30, ESV) o Repentance means to have a "CHANGE of mind or heart." o Used in Greek army for our phrase "ABOUT FACE!" · What do I repent about? o All my SINS in general. o DISBELIEF about Jesus in particular. “21testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Acts 20:21, ESV) Our main change of mind is about Christ, from rejecting Him to Accepting Him! · My repentance shows through my BAPTISM. The first sign of real repentance is following the command of Christ to be baptized. If you're still arguing about it – ask yourself who's really in charge? If it's Jesus then why not just do it? “18And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”” (Matthew 28:18–20, ESV) · My repentance shows through my LIFESTYLE. “7But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8Bear fruit in keeping with repentance.” (Matthew 3:7–8, ESV) Quote from Dr. Rene Padilla.. "This new reality places men in a position of crisis-they cannot continue to live as if nothing had happened; the Kingdom of God demands a new mentality, a reorientation for all their values ...repentance is much more than a private affair between the individual and God. It is the complete reorientation of life in the world- among men- in response to the work of God in Jesus Christ." 2) The Second Gospel Demand · Submit to Christ as Lord! This is the real goal of repentance - to turn away from a self directed life and toward a Christ directed one! That's why as a Christian repentance continues to be a vital part of our lives - we must do it every day! All Gospel preaching in the NT led to this point! 3) Savior VS Lord Question John Stott wrote this in 1975, "They distinguish sharply between the acceptance of Jesus as Savior and the surrender to Him as Lord, and they even promulgate the grotesque notion that to insist on surrender in addition to acceptance is to distort the Gospel. Well I honor their conscientious desire to protect the Gospel from all perversions...Further we must be careful never to define faith in such a way as to ascribe to it any merit. The whole value of faith lies in its object (Jesus Christ), not in itself. Nevertheless, saving faith in not an acceptance of Jesus Christ as Savior in within a kind of mystical vacuum, and without any awareness either of the Christ being accepted or of the concrete implications of this acceptance. Saving faith is a total, penitent and submissive commitment to Christ, and it would have been inconceivable to the apostles that anybody could believe in Jesus as Savior without submitting to him as Lord." · I must adopt a BIBLICAL Balance “7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:7–9, ESV) We're not talking perfectionism here. That's why forgiveness and repentance are so vital. Neither are we saying it's o.k. to get fire insurance alone. To accept Christ in truth is to struggle with making Him and Him alone Lord of all your life. Jason Sacks said, "If you're not going live like a Christian then don't call yourself one!"

The Five Facets of the Gospel Pt. 4, The Gospel Promises By Louie Marsh, 9-21-2025 Intro. The last two weeks of this series. What is the Good News? Well it's more than just what Jesus once did, and what He now is, it's also about what He now offers. Today the promises of the Gospel is what we'll look at. REMEMBER! The Gospel Events · The Death and Resurrection of Jesus. · These two historical events, and what they mean, are the heart of the Gospel. The Gospel Witnesses · Scripture · Apostles Eye-Witness Testimony The Gospel Affirmations · Jesus is Lord · Jesus is Savior The Gospel Promises - 1) God in Christ will FORGIVE my sins. · Forgiveness is ESSENTIAL to New Testament salvation. “22Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.” (Hebrews 9:22, ESV) · Jesus COMMANDED it preached “45Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.” (Luke 24:45–47, ESV) 2) This promise EMPOWERED the Apostles. “23If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.”” (John 20:23, ESV) · The Apostles ACTIONS proved what that statement meant. “38And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins… (Acts 2:38, ESV) “19Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,” (Acts 3:19, ESV) “43To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”” (Acts 10:43, ESV) “38Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,” (Acts 13:38, ESV) Jesus gave them the authority to preach boldly and with authority the terms of divine forgiveness. 3) Forgiveness is NOT POPULAR. Because it forces you to take responsibility for what you've done, and to admit there are objective standards of right and wrong! The good news of forgiveness is also the bad news that I'm a sinner who needs forgiveness! Without this there is no salvation! 4) The Second Gospel Promise · Make Jesus your Lord and God will give you the HOLY SPIRIT. “38… and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38, ESV) The Gospel offers more than just forgiveness of our past sins. It offers a new life in the present through the new birth and the Holy Spirit living in us. · One vital aspect of the Ministry of the Spirit – NO FEAR. “12So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,” (Romans 8:12–16, ESV) He sets us free from sin Sets us free from fear Draws us near to God the Father Claiming the Promise Your Past, Present and Future can be assured today By accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior, repenting and being baptized you are assured of at least two things - forgiveness and the Holy Spirit!

The Five Facets of The Gospel Part Three: The Gospel Affirmations By Louie Marsh, 9-14-2025 Preached Parker, October 25, 1992 Intro. We continue with this series, defining what the Gospel was in the preaching of the Apostles, and what it should be to us! This may seem like old hat to some of you, but I believe that we all need to learn this, or be reminded of this - and to seriously consider whether this is how we present Christ to those around us. Where We've Been: · The Gospel Events – Death, Burial & Resurrection of Jesus, · The Gospel Witnesses: Scripture & Apostle's witness 3rd Facet - The Gospel Affirmations 1) Jesus is Lord is the PRIMARY affirmation of the New Testament. “8But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”” (Romans 10:8–13, ESV) · Becoming Lord of all is WHY Jesus died and rose again. “9For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.” (Romans 14:9, ESV) · The Father Himself EXALTED Jesus through his resurrection. “8And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:8–11, ESV) “36Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”” (Acts 2:36, ESV) · You can only say & mean Jesus is Lord - through the Holy Spirit. “3Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is accursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12:3, ESV) · Why is it Primary? Savior is used 24 times in the NIV New Testament Lord is used of Jesus 615 time in the NIV New Testament κύριος 717 lord, Lord 2) Some practical results of AFFIRMING that Jesus is Lord. · You START obeying Jesus in everything. “46“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,' and not do what I tell you?” (Luke 6:46, ESV) “21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21, ESV) · You can then evangelize without HYPOCRISY, “15but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,” (1 Peter 3:15, ESV) B) The Secondary Affirmation 1, Jesus is Savior a, This is also a result of His death and Resurrection - Acts 5:31 “31God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.” (Acts 5:31, ESV) “23For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.” (Ephesians 5:23, ESV) b, It's a fulfillment of prophecy Acts 13:23 “23Of this man's offspring God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as he promised.” (Acts 13:23, ESV) 3, Being Lord includes and over shadows being Savior Eph. 5:23 “23For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.” (Ephesians 5:23, ESV)

THE 5 FACETS OF THE GOSPEL Part Two: "The Gospel Witnesses" By Louie Marsh, 9-7-2025 1) The first Gospel witness – SCRIPTURE. · Jesus APPEALED to them all the time. “27And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.” (Luke 24:27, ESV) “44Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.” (Luke 24:44–47, ESV) · The Apostles constantly QUOTED them. “3For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,” (1 Corinthians 15:3–4, ESV) “22To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come to pass: 23that the Christ must suffer and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to our people and to the Gentiles.”” (Acts 26:22–23, ESV) · The Necessity of MULTIPLE Witnesses “15“A single witness shall not suffice against a person for any crime or for any wrong in connection with any offense that he has committed. Only on the evidence of two witnesses or of three witnesses shall a charge be established.” (Deuteronomy 19:15, ESV) As Jews the Apostles were steeped in this. Even Scripture alone wasn't enough to conclusively prove the identity of Jesus. 2) The Second Gospel Witness – the APOSTLES. “48You are witnesses of these things.” (Luke 24:48, ESV) “8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”” (Acts 1:8, ESV) · Their early preaching RELIED on it. “15and you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses.” (Acts 3:15, ESV) · Their later teaching still CLUNG to it. “1That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— 2the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us—” (1 John 1:1–2, ESV) “16For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.” (2 Peter 1:16, ESV) 3) Some Conclusions · Scripture & the apostles Witness is Primary. · Our witness is ALWAYS secondary to theirs. We don't preach a Jesus of our experience or opinion - but the Christ of Scriptures and of Apostolic witness! “4For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough.” (2 Corinthians 11:4, ESV)

The Five Facets of The Gospel Part One, The Gospel Events By Louie Marsh, 8-31-2025 1) Is This Sermon Really Necessary? · YES!! Many Christians don't know what they believe. Inviting people to church is good - but it's not sharing the Gospel. Besides that there are two major problem areas that make this series something YOU should pay attention to. · The world continually DISTORTS what the Gospel is. “3But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 4For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough.” (2 Corinthians 11:3–4, ESV) Just talking about Jesus isn't enough! We must speak the truth about the true Jesus “2preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.” (2 Timothy 4:2, ESV) · Too often Christians get CONFUSED as well. The Spectacular - miracles, "words of revelation knowledge," Side issues - music, abortion, politics, etc. Psychologized Religion. This isn't an attack on all psychology - but on it's extremes. At its worst it denies the Gospel! Robert H. Shuller, Self Esteem, The New Reformation, January 1982, Pg. 98; "The most serious sin is the one that causes me to say, 'I am unworthy. I may have no claim to divine sonship if you examine me at my worst.' For once a person believes he is an "unworthy sinner," it is doubtful if he can really honestly accept the saving grace God offers in Jesus Christ." “8But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” 9For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, 10and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.” 11And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.” (Luke 5:8–11, ESV) If that's true - and it isn't - the Gospel was never preached or accepted for nearly 2000 years! The need for this series is clear, as the Reformers said, "Ecclesia Semper Reformanda," The church must always be reforming itself. “19Do not quench the Spirit. 20Do not despise prophecies, 21but test everything; hold fast what is good.” (1 Thessalonians 5:19–21, ESV) 2) The First Gospel Event “1Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 3For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.” (1 Corinthians 15:1–5, ESV) · Jesus DIED on the cross. “3Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death…(Romans 6:3–4a, ESV) His burial is mentioned as proof that He really died. Baptism is called burial. It's proof of our death to sin! o Paul taught this. “12Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?” (1 Corinthians 15:12, ESV) [2 Cor. 5:20-21; Gal. 1:4] o Peter taught this. “23this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.” (Acts 2:23, ESV) ] Acts 4:27-28] “30The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.” (Acts 5:30, ESV) [Acts10:39, 13:28-29] “22“And if a man has committed a crime punishable by death and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree, 23his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall bury him the same day, for a hanged man is cursed by God. You shall not defile your land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance.” (Deuteronomy 21:22–23, ESV) 3) The Second Gospel Event · Jesus PHYSCIALLY ROSE from the dead. “25who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.” (Romans 4:25, ESV) “23this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. 24God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.” (Acts 2:23–24, ESV) · These two events should DOMINATE my conversations about Jesus. THESE should dominate our conversations about Christ. NOT side issues That's hard to do. The Gospel Confronts us.
