What does it mean not only to believe and preach the gospel—but to be the gospel? In this powerful sermon, Stan Key explores Paul’s warning about “another Jesus,” “a different spirit,” and “a different gospel” in 2 Corinthians 11. When the cross moves from the center of Christianity to the margins, the church can slowly exchange the true gospel for something more comfortable, cultural, or self-centered.
The authentic gospel is the story of Jesus: He came, He died, He rose, He reigns, and He is coming again. Those who follow Him are called to embody that story through self-denying, status-renouncing, other-centered love. Drawing from the risen Jesus showing His scars, Paul bearing “the marks of Jesus,” and his own experience as a missionary, Stan explains why our wounds and redeemed failures can become some of our most powerful witnesses.
The real body of Christ is recognizable by its scars. “The medium is the message. You are the message. You have the message.”
