Jesus willingly gave up His place at God's side to come down and be the one to provide a solution to our sin problem. He suffered in our place, taking on the sin of all mankind, so we would have a chance to be made right with God. #fccchester #whatisthegospel

Lots of people throughout history have claimed to be the Messiah. But God gave specific details about who the Messiah would be...and only Jesus meets those. #fccchester #whatisthegospel

Jesus was fully God and able to defeat death and sin and give us salvation. Jesus was also fully human and is able to represent us before God. #fccchester #whatisthegospel

So what went wrong? How did our relationship with God end up how it is now? The only answer is sin. When mankind chose selfishness over togetherness, we drove a wedge between ourselves and God. Ever since the first sin, we've consistently missed the mark. But God offers us a way out of sin and a way back to Him. #whatisthegospel #fccchester

We obey God because He deserves it as our Creator, not because He demands it. Obedience to Him is acknowledging that He made us for a purpose and we gladly accept that purpose as our worship of Him. #fccchester #whatisthegospel

We all have assumptions that we make about God. We have to be careful that we don't place our imperfect expectations on Him. He's not a kindly old grandfather or Santa Claus...He is the Creator and the Holy and Righteous One. #whatisthegospel #fccchester

Knowing who Jesus is includes knowing what He came here to do. As the "Lamb of God", Jesus is the offering that takes away our punishment. John knew this and made sure those around him knew it as well. #thestory2017 #fccchester

Mary's pregnancy with Jesus put her in quite the predicament. To many, she had violated God's Law and the disobedience was worthy of harsh punishment. But God knew Mary's heart and therefore she was blessed with a big part of His Upper Story. #fccchester #thestory2017

Character matters. Joseph chose to be obedient to God AND do what he could to preserve Mary. Because of that, Joseph was a perfect fit for implementing God's Upper Story. #thestory2017 #fccchester

In Nehemiah 8, the Jews finally began to understand God's Upper Story. When they did, they got to see God's Upper Story...and that excited them. God doesn't want blind obedience from you. He wants obedience with an understanding of why you should be obedient. #fccchester #thestory2017
