1 Corinthians 2:1-2

[1]And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

[2]For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

The Gospel of Christ was the Apostle Paul's primary and preeminent message. Everything else he taught flowed out of and through Christ's Death, Burial, and Resurrection.

May it be our primary message and focus as well.

There are many who are drawn to the pragmatism and charisma of certain places of worship. Many are drawn to comedy, entertainment, and shallow preaching,  but unfortunately, many of these places have a Christless focus. They might mention His name, but they deny Him in their avoidance of preaching the true glorious Gospel of Christ,  failing to make much of His work of redemption and not calling sinners to true repentance and faith in Christ alone.

A true Biblical New Testament Church should not seek its own gain, numbers, popularity or influence among other churches, but simply to obey the great Shepherd, Jesus, who is the head of His churches. Unto Him be glory in the Church.

May we continue to simply be Christ Centered and Gospel Focused awaiting our Lord to return for us as we continue to carry out His Great Commission.
