What is the Gospel?

This is a teaching I gave at Fall Retreat 2023 called “What Is The Gospel?” I am very indebted to Greg Gilbert’s helpful and short book with the same title in the 9Marks Healthy Church series published by Crossway for the content in this talk.

This particular Gospel presentation follows the outline:

  1. God
  2. Man
  3. Christ
  4. Response

I have found it to be a helpful and succinct way to capture the essence of the Gospel, especially as you consider having something that’s always ready-to-go, if you will, for the purpose of evangelism. Enjoy the talk!

Hey there! My name is Fady Ghobrial, and I love Jesus and people. I enjoy teaching the Bible, mentoring students, officiating weddings, reading, writing, cooking and helping people grow in their faith and leadership.

Here’s a little bit more about me…

I was born and raised in Cairo, Egypt. My family moved to Massachusetts in 2002. After my freshman year of college, at the 2009 One Name Boston Conference, I experienced a radical encounter with Jesus, after which I quickly sensed a call to ministry and began serving at the Arabic Baptist Church of Boston, where I was later ordained and served as one of the pastors for 8 years.

I have a Master of Divinity degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and I’m ordained with the Baptist Churches of New England. I’m super passionate about teaching scripture and helping people grow in their faith.

Since 2017, I have served as Ministry Fellow with Christian Union at Harvard, a Christian leadership development organization, where I teach Bible courses, coach leaders and disciples student. I’m an avid reader of books and an enthusiastic cook – both traits I picked up from my dad, who is a chef and book lover. I’m happily married to my lovely wife RenĂ©e, who also serves in full time ministry.

My work has been featured in Christianity Today, The TriState Voice, The Baptist Churches of New England and Christian Union America. I’m also the creator and host of the Following Jesus in College & Beyond podcast. You can read my testimony at Christianity Today here, and at CBN’s The 700 Club here.
