On Sunday, May 3rd we looked at Colossians 1, particularly at verses 6-7 examining the Characteristics of the Gospel.

• The Gospel bears fruit
• The Gospel grows
• The Gospel is heard
• The Gospel is understood
• The Gospel is learned

We also looked at verses 27-28 of Colossians 1 looking at what the Gospel requires.

• Proclamation…I love to tell the story!
• Admonishing (Warning)…showing people where they have gone wrong
• Teaching (with all wisdom)….showing people God’s way (student from Korea:  God’s way is the one and only way!)

This coming Sunday, Lord willing , we be talking about “How the Gospel is to be presented?” For preparation, I would suggest reading 1 Thessalonians chapter 2.
