Gospel Graphic: Ephesians 2:1-7
The graphic below illustrates that the Good News of King Jesus is that: We were enslaved to the pattern of this dark kingdom, enslaved to our selfish passions, and enslaved to satanic authority.

The Idolatry of Christian Impact
One of our primary intentions here at Hope Discipleship is to attempt to clear away thoughts and ideas that often cloud or adulterate the Gospel of King Jesus. I don’t suppose for a moment that I have a corner on this market so I look to friends, authors, thinkers, and theologians to help me along the road.

I also read a few dead guys like Edwards, Calvin, and CS Lewis.

Performance v Relationship
The gospel is NOT an invitation to performance. The gospel is an invitation to a relationship.
Modern Penance: Obsessed with the Person in the Mirror
This video is the second in our series on Repentance. In this presentation, we learn that the modern Church views Christianity as a Religious Performance “for” Christ, rather than a Loving Relationship “with” Christ. As a result, we Christians generally relate to God through perfectionistic penance, and we become obsessed with the person we see in the mirror.
