In this episode Steven discusses the message of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God based on the 4 Gospels and Acts. This is a very simplistic message continuing the 39 articles explaining the Kingdom of God.

13. The Gospel of the Kingdom (Mark 1:14-15). The synoptic Gospels and Acts make at least twenty direct references to the preaching of “the gospel of the kingdom” from John the Baptist (Matt. 3:1-2), throughout Jesus’ ministry (Mark 1:14-15), in the disciples’ ministry during Jesus’ ministry (Luke 9:1-2), and throughout Acts. Jesus prophesied this same message shall be taken to the ends of the world (Matt. 24:14), commissioning His disciples to do this and promising the Holy Spirit’s power for the task (Mark 16:15-18; Acts 1:3-8).
It is clear that the early church proclaimed the same message Jesus preached, that is, “the gospel of the kingdom of God” (Acts 8:12; 19:8; 20:25; 28:23, 30-31). Also, they experienced the same confirming evidences present in His ministry.
There is only one gospel: Jesus preached it, transmitted it to His disciples, and has committed it to His church. Paul warned against ever receiving any other gospel. “Any other” may be either a message of outright error or an argument for a diluted message, devoid of power though nominally Christian. Jude 3 urges us always to contend for the original, “the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.” Hold to the full “gospel of the kingdom,” and expect the Lord to confirm that “word” with the signs He promised (Mark 16:15-18).
