The City Needs The Gospel

We need more than economic reconciliation; we need spiritual reconciliation with God. We need a Savior that will restore our dulled sense of what is good, true, and beautiful. We need a God who can renew us in every way, a God who can make all things new. We need the gospel of Jesus, which is the good and true story that Jesus has defeated sin, death, and evil through his own death and resurrection and is making all things new, even us.

The gospel changes everything, starting with us. Will we be so changed by the gospel that we can’t help but renew the city? Or will we be so changed by the city, that we won’t advance the gospel?
