SouthCrest Church Sunday morning message, 1/7/24. We begin our new series, Gospel Fluency 101, guided by Jeff Vanderstelt’s book “Gospel Fluency: Speaking the Truths of Jesus into the Everyday Stuff of Life.” Senior Pastor Matt McFadden introduces the idea of gospel fluency as “christian maturity.” Maturity is not simply arriving at some arbitrary biological age, but rather upon the obtaining of deep understanding. For example, when the subconscious dreams of a person learning a second language are in the new language—the person has become “fluent” when the secondary language flows from them without effort. Fluency requires knowledge, application and immersion.
