Gospel partnership

That's what every church is to be - a society of people saved through the gospel, organized around the gospel, committed to spreading the gospel.

If this partnership were a living creature, the gospel would be the heart beating in its chest. If it were a high-rise building, the gospel would be the deep foundation embedded in the earth. If their partnership were a solar system, the gospel would be the blazing sun around which everything orbits. Through the gospel they have all been saved, and now they give themselves to partnering to spread the good news.
