1 Corinthians 1:18–31

Descriptors like “Gospel-Centered” and “Christ-Centered” became buzzwords in the early 2000’s as a way to describe churches and ministries and movements. A proliferation of books filled the market expounding everything from “Gospel-Centered living,” to the “Gospel-Centered family,” to “Gospel-Centered” ministry. But, what does it actually mean to say that a church is “Gospel-Centered” or Shaped by the Gospel? Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 help us answer that question.
