Paul will soon be standing for the defence of the Gospel before Caesar’s tribunal at the heart of the Empire, but in the pages of his letter to the Romans he’s already set out a wonderfully orderly 8-part defence of the Gospel that systematically defeats every conceivable objection to it: (1) Introduction (2) Condemnation (3) Justification (4) Sanctification (5) Glorification (6) Predestination (7) Transformation (8) Conclusion.

Not Fake News: Part 11 - Four Things God Wants You To Know
We’ve all heard the term ‘fake news’ - Donald Trump made sure we did. If something’s fake, we can be sure it’s false. There’s a true story about an elderly gentleman who was so animated in his preaching of the gospel - God’s Good News - that at one point his full set of false teeth flew out of his mouth and clattered onto the floor. With no more ado, he calmly descended from the pulpit and collected his teeth from the floor in front of his audience. By the time he’d returned to the pulpit and was facing his audience once more, the teeth were already back in his mouth, and he continued quite unfazed by announcing to his spell-bound listeners: ‘There’s nothing false about the Gospel!’
It's that gospel of good news which is the subject of this series of mini-sermons from Bible teacher Brian Johnston.
