Ken Murray and I continue our series of podcasts.

The Term GOSPEL is widely used to describe the work, content and essence of Christianity.   There is a true Gospel defined and identified in the New Testament.  And, there is another gospel defined by men that people fall for that has a different and perilous direction from what Christ brought and Who He was.
