NEW ELECTIVE:
God is the Gospel
Begins Sunday, September 13 @ 9 am | Room 211
Led by Christian Blumenfeld.
In this class, we will explore one of the most profound and often overlooked truths of the Christian faith: that the ultimate good of the gospel is not merely forgiveness, justification, or eternal life, but God Himself. In the book God is the Gospel, John Piper presses us to reconsider what we truly mean by “good news.” If the gospel only brings us benefits, but not God, it is incomplete. The central claim we will examine is that the gospel is only truly good news because it brings us into the presence of God as our highest joy and final treasure.
This shifts our understanding of the gospel from being merely a means to an end, to being the revelation of the greatest end itself—God. Through Scripture and careful reflection, we will see that every aspect of salvation finds its purpose in this: that we might see, know, and savor God in Jesus Christ. As we move through this study, our aim is not only to understand the gospel more clearly, but to treasure it more deeply—because in it, we are given not just rescue from sin, but God Himself as our everlasting reward.
*7-week class, runs September 13 - October 25 // John Piper’s book, God is the Gospel, will be provided for you.
