Throughout Scripture God has called a people to himself — to establish community with Him and with each other. He prepares His people and fills them with the power to relieve suffering, heal the sick, and save lives from eternal death and separation from God. He gives common man the power to do uncommon things. Covenant Gospel community is not to build bigger churches, establish our own ministries, make friends, or maintain a social life; it is to lay down our lives for Christ and for others.

It is difficult for us to realize just how materialistic we are when we are immersed in a culture of materialism. Before we make drastic changes to our life, we need to understand what God says about our possessions. God blesses us and has provided everything we have so that we in turn can bless others. When we use the possessions and finances God has given us for self-serving purposes it is covetous.

Scriptures says that the inside must be clean before the outside can be clean, but what happens if the outside remains unchanged? The Gospel doesn’t only call for reflection but requires action and obedience. You must understand the Gospel in order for transformation to take place. The Gospel is understanding the grace of a glorious God, the wrath that God has for the depraved, the sufficiency of Christ, the necessity of faith and a longing for eternity. If we know and live the Gospel we will be real and transformed disciples.
