It is quite easy to assume that if we understand the gospel accurately and preach it faithfully, our ministry will necessarily be shaped by it—but this is not true.  Many churches subscribe to gospel doctrines but do not have a ministry that is shaped by, centered on, and empowered through the gospel.  Its implications have not yet worked their way into the fabric of how the church actually does ministry.  These churches’ theological vision has likely arisen from something other than sustained reflection on the gospel.

Gospel-centered ministry is more theologically driven than program driven.  To pursue it, we must spend time reflecting on the essence, the truths, and the very patterns of the gospel itself.  This eBook contains the first part of Center Church, “Gospel Theology.” In it, Keller examines what the gospel is and is not, and how churches can be shaped by, centered on, and empowered through the gospel.

    Without the gospel, our self-image is based on living up to some standards — either our own or someone else’s imposed on us
  • Eliezer Gonzalezhas quoted5 years ago
    Loving God supremely is the only way to truly love anything else and become your true self, to become truly free (2 Cor 4:4; Col 1:15)
  • Eliezer Gonzalezhas quoted5 years ago
    In the same way, if God created us and we owe him everything and we do not live for him but we “live a good life,” it is not enough. We all owe a debt that must be paid
