Picture this: you have a good conversation with a friend who is not a Christian, and somehow an opportunity comes your way to share about your faith. How do you share the Gospel in 5 minutes? Many would be tempted to draw two hills with a chasm in between, man on one side, God on the other, and the cross in between. For many of us, the heart of the Gospel is about sin, guilt, forgiveness and faith.

Yet, this is not the biblical understanding of the word 'gospel'. It's not the Gospel Jesus preached, nor the Gospel the apostles preached. It is a reduced version of the full Gospel of the Kingdom.

In this opening message to a 16-part series, we are going to journey through the full Gospel, starting at Creation and ending at the Return, always connecting it to a simple diagram that you can explain in 5 minutes to a friend.
