What does one of the world's most popular Bible podcasts think is missing in the church today? Jon Moffitt interacts with The Bible Recap's concern that churches often fail to preach the gospel, then presses the same question Theocast always asks: are we preaching Christ for you, or mostly moralism and "try harder"?
In this episode you'll hear:
- Why The Bible Recap's critique of missing gospel preaching lands (and where Jon agrees)
- The difference between the gospel and the Christian life that flows from it
- How moralism, prosperity "I do my part" religion, and law-without-Christ crush people
- Why the law is good, but cannot empower obedience apart from Christ
- Standing in the Lord's strength (Ephesians 6) instead of your own grit
- Assurance: the Father who accepted you in Christ does not change his mind about you
- A call to pastors and hearers: put the gospel back at the center of the pulpit
Who it's for: Bible Recap listeners, church members who leave Sunday feeling told what to do but not who Christ is for them, and pastors who want gospel-centered, Christ-preaching churches without soft-pedaling holiness.
