Gospel in Life

James Grant:

That is the title of a new intensive survey course that Redeemer Presbyterian Church in NY developed to explore how the gospel changes us. Here is the explanation from the Gospel in Life website:

Gospel in Life is an intensive survey course exploring how the gospel changes our hearts, brings us into community, and is lived out in the world.

This eight-session small group course includes a DVD of Timothy Keller’s teaching for each session as well as a detailed study guide which features Bible studies, discussion questions, quotations from literary sources, and home study work. It is designed for both lay people and ministers.

The material can also be adapted to a shorter or longer time period, from a single-day workshop to a 24 week study.

Gospel in Life will be available in March 2010.

Tim Keller says, “The concept behind the ‘Gospel in Life’ course is that Christ-likeness happens when we bring the gospel to bear on the roots of a person’s heart. We want to help people work out what it means to believe the gospel more deeply and rejoice in Jesus’ salvation more fully in a community. So we’re working these things into people’s lives, we’re doing it in community and that is the basic concept behind the ‘Gospel in Life’ discipleship curriculum.”
