Matt Chandler is the Lead Pastor of The Village Church www.thevillagechurch.net. He shared two sessions at the conference. Here are my notes from a session titled, "Getting the Gospel Right" focused from 1 Corinthians 15:
You must preach sanctification in the light of the cross.
Our goodness is wicked; that's how holy God is. My good day is filthy rags (Isa. 64:6).
You leave the Gospel if you put a "defining" word in front of the Gospel (social Gospel; prosperity Gospel). The Gospel, the cross, must be our message.
Get the Gospel right; live in humility; preach the atonement.
The church meeting social issues goes back to the book of Acts (Acts 2).
Is church your niche or do you belong to Jesus?
May we spend our lives in radical generosity because of how Jesus has been to us.
