Module 1
The Gospel in 6 steps
The whole message from God's Word: sin, Jesus who condemned sin and justifies us, the cross and resurrection, repentance, baptism in water and the Spirit, Jesus' return and the Kingdom.
Rom 3:23 · Rom 8:3 · 1 Cor 15:3-4 · Acts 2:38 · Jn 3:5 · Acts 1:11
- 1 Step 1: The bad news – sin The Gospel begins with the truth about God and about us. God is holy, and every person has sinned against Him. Without this bad news, the Good News makes no sense. 10 min
- 2 Step 2: Jesus condemned sin and justifies us God sent His own Son. Jesus, without sin, took our place; in Him God condemned sin, and through Him everyone who believes is justified – declared righteous – before God. 12 min
- 3 Step 3: The cross and the resurrection Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, was buried, and rose again on the third day. This is the heart of the Gospel and the proof that God has accepted His sacrifice. 12 min
- 4 Step 4: Repentance God commands all people everywhere to repent. Repentance means turning from sin to God, with faith in Jesus Christ – a change of mind that changes the direction of life. 10 min
- 5 Step 5: Baptism in water and the Holy Spirit Jesus told Nicodemus that a person must be born again – "born of water and of the Spirit". The apostles called people to repent, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 13 min
- 6 Step 6: Jesus' return and the Kingdom Jesus is coming back. He will raise the dead, judge the world in righteousness and establish the Kingdom of God, where God will wipe away all tears. This is the living hope of the Gospel. 11 min
- 7 How the apostles preached There is one Gospel, but the apostles entered it through different doors – from the Scriptures with Jews, from God the Creator with pagans, from what seekers were already reading. Every time they arrived at Jesus crucified and risen and called people to respond. 15 min

Module 2
Step 1 in depth: sin
A holy God, the sin of every person and its consequences – and how to speak about it with love.
Rom 3:23 · Rom 6:23 · Isa 59:2 · Heb 9:27
- 1 God is holy and just The bad news only makes sense when we first see who God is. Before we talk about sin, we talk about a holy, righteous and loving Creator. 12 min
- 2 All have sinned Sin is not only "bad things other people do". God's Word shows that every person, religious or not, has broken God's law and fallen short of His glory. 14 min
- 3 The wages of sin Sin has consequences. It separates us from God, leads to death and to God's judgment. This is the hardest part of the message, and the reason the Good News is so good. 13 min
- 4 Speaking the truth in love How do we tell people the bad news without pushing them away? Practical guidance on tone, questions, listening and the bridge to the Good News of Jesus. 15 min

God loves us so much that He sent His Son Jesus. Jesus never sinned, and He came to save us from our sins.

Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment for our sins. On the third day He came back to life! Jesus is alive.

-
5. A new start: water and the Holy Spirit
