We live in a world dominated by marketing and messaging and all sorts of strategies designed to sell a good, service or idea. But in a world where there can be as many preferences and consumer biases as there are cultures, these marketing gimmicks never suffice across the board and are then subject to changes and modifications to fit consumer preferences because in our human reality, one size doesn't always fit all.
Not so with the gospel. We cannot modify, adapt or embellish the gospel so that it aligns with or appeals to the sensibilities of our varying cultural, social and political realities. This is because the gospel, being a matter of life and death, addresses something more fundamental. The gospel addresses life's biggest question; how are we saved?
Our deacon, Martin Obono, in delivering this sermon, sought to point our heart's
attention to life's most fundamental question; am I saved and how am I saved? He established that it is the gospel that saves and this gospel is overarching in its efficacy, the tampering of which, renders it ineffectual in its true ramification.
Listen to find out what the gospel is and why, unlike the world's offerings, it is enough in its true form for all mankind in all places and at all times to address the one problem we all have; sin.
