I have attended Christian worship services where the gospel was unclear or sometimes not even mentioned. It is almost as if church leaders or lay people think that the gospel is something that we experienced when we confessed Christ as Lord and Savior, but then we move on. We not only need a worship service full of the gospel for lost people in the service, but we need it for the believers.
As believers we build our lives on the gospel. Our worship services should be centered around the gospel - our songs, our prayers, and our sermons. One person has said that we never move on from the cross only into a more profound understanding of the cross.
Pastors - keep your services full of the gospel. Look for songs that point to the cross, that tell of our forgiveness from sins, and rejoice in Christ’s triumph over death and hell. Pray prayers that reflect the gospel. Preach messages that help us see that the gospel impacts every aspect of our lives. Thanks Pastor Fowler and Gardner for a gospel-centered service.
