IBCD Summer Institute: Plenary Session 6 “A Family Surprised by Grace”

Milton Vincent, author of the book A Gospel Primer, preached to us concerning four facts about the gospel. He encouraged us that “Gospel will put fat on our bones in the best of ways.” Vincent recounted how he used to live in the grip of fear, but “as the fear of failure was removed, as the energy he spent worrying about his sin was no longer spent worrying, the energy to follow Christ came.”

These are the 4 facts that he preached on:

• The Gospel is the power of God: Romans 1:16
• The Gospel is for us Christian’s too: Romans 1:15–16; I Corinthians 1:18
• The Gospel is the primary instrument God uses to enrich and transform us daily: Acts 20:32
• There are some simple and delicious ways that we can unleash the power of the gospel in our lives.
  • 3 Truths
    • Stare at the gospel
    • Believe it
    • Feast on it

Vincent was so very encouraging in his reminders to continue in the grace and the power that comes at the foot of the cross.
