From the Pulpit...

The gospel as it is often preached today tells of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It tells of the meaning of those events—why they occurred and what they accomplished toward God and toward man. And this is extremely significant because wholeheartedly trusting in the Messiah is the only way of salvation from sin. It is the only way to become a citizen of the kingdom of heaven. But this is just the beginning of the gospel of the kingdom! It is just the entryway or foyer into the kingdom of God that will be ruled by Christ in a future age, and then turned into the eternal heaven after that. The whole package is priceless, and thus worth everything to obtain.
