My giveaway this Friday is a pair of resources from J.D. Greear.
First is the Gospel Revolution small group kit for adults. The kit is an 8-session discipleship experience that leads group members to understand how to let the gospel work in their hearts the way religion never has or could. On a journey to greater understanding of the gospel, Pastor J.D. Greear ran through all the religious activities typically associated with a disciple’s life: giving, adopting, missionality, preaching, and witnessing. Though disciplined and intentional in all aspects, only when J.D. “discovered” the gospel of Jesus Christ did everything change. That’s why the objective of Gospel Revolution is to help group members abide in Jesus. They will find that when they do, passion, self-control, kindness, patience, and generosity are the natural results. Marriages will change. Participants will become more self-disciplined. They will be less selfish. Not by concentrating on these things, but as a result of being captivated by the love of Christ.
Also included is the brand new Gospel Revolution small group kit for students. This kit is designed for students of all ages, parents, and student leaders or pastors. When the Gospel intersects with a person’s heart, a life will be changed, relationships will be strengthened, and transformation will happen. That’s the power of the Gospel, and knowing it and experiencing it are integral in the life of a disciple. Through eight in-depth sessions, Gospel Revolution guides students to a deeper understanding of the Gospel, its power, and its implications. The result: A disciple’s life defined by selflessness, discipline, generosity, service, and love. In other words, a true revolution.

I am most intrigued by Luke … probably because I’ve neglected it … but John is where I settle in.
Matthew is my favorite Gospel to read. I’m a Sermon On the Mount guy.
Luke because he mentions more Gentiles and women than the other three gospels.
I love to read the Gospel of Matthew. As Matthew seeks to show us the Messiah King, he gives us a glimpse into the realm of Christ’s Kingdom. As Kingdom citizen’s we have a great heritage and a great responsibility.
Doc
All four, but if I must pick one John.
We are planning to do a discipleship program starting in in April!!
We are planning to do a discipleship program starting in in April!!. My favorite gospel is John!!
Sorry but I don’t have a favorite. They are all equally valuable to me. Together they comprise a single story from different perspectives, each complementing the others and none being complete on its own.
John is my favorite of the four Gospels!
I like to read Matthew of the four Gospels.
If I must pick one, I’d go with Matthew. I tend to find myself in that book when it comes to the gospels.
It changes depending on my studies but I lean toward the deptth of John, especially his presentation of Christ’s birth – “In the beginning…..”
My favorite is John
Matthew has to be my favorite of the 4 gospels.
John
Luke is my favorite!
I will settle in with John…”believe”
I would probably say the one I am currently in. My reading plan has me in Matthew right now. I am thankful God preserved 4. They are each complete narratives revealing great themes about Christ to show us the gospel more clearly. And together they help us love our Lord even more and build for his kingdom.
I’m gonna be honest I can not pick just one because I am still just at the beginning of my journey with Jesus. Everytime I read my bible I am given something new that feeds my soul and strengthen my relationship with Jesus. Its never the same for me since I began my walk and began a new life.
I’m going with Matthew because if thee Sermon on the Mount
I am a Luke kind of guy. Love the compassion theme through it.
My favorite? Oh wow. That depends on my mood for the moment.
For now I would say it Luke.
John is my favorite Gospel
John
John
Mark… it’s “the beginning of the Gospel”
John
My favourite would have to be Mark. We are missionaries in Edinburgh Scotland, and are urban church planters. We are on our 3rd church plant and we used the Book of Mark as a daily blog discussion during Lent leading up to Easter last year. The power of that process is what makes me have to choose the Book of Mark.
John, without question.
That is a tough one. My favorite synoptic Gospel is Luke, put when you put John in the choices, and I could only have one, it would be JOHN.
The Gospel I enjoy the most would be Luke.
My favorite to read is Luke. I love the details in his narrative.
I tend to lean towards John as my favorite.
Matthew. I know it well and I continually am amazed at its depth and richness.
I love reading John and the deity of Christ. When I start getting full of myself, I read John’s gospel and I am quickly put back where I belong. Serving and loving Him the Creator.
I love the Christocentric development of the Gospel of John.
The Gospel of John…it’s where I first started when I began my journey of figuring out who this “Jesus guy” was.
I guess Matthew. Sort of asking which is my favorite child.
My “Top 4 Favorite Gospels” in order:
))
1. Matthew
2. Mark
3. Luke
4. John
(Just like God planned it
Luke’s Gospel speaks to me because of his attention to detail. He provokes hard thought and study. If I was asked by a new believer what gospel to read I would lead them to John.
Mark is my favorite. Ending is the best at verse 8— challenging picture to continue the Life of Jesus.
It is too hard to pick just one. I actually like to take Robert L. Thomas & Stanley N Gundry’s Harmony of the Gospels and go through Jesus’ life chronologically.
My personal favorite is Luke. He has such attention to detail and provokes hard thought and study. If a new believer were to ask what gospel to read I would suggest John.
Mark. We just finished a study in Mark a few months ago. This dynamic, action packed Gospel is truly amazing from the first words, “This is beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God!” Now, that is a statement that demands to be backed up; and Mark does just that!
Luke is my favorite, with John being a close runner-up!
Mark, I like the concise almost staccato way he tells the Gospel.
Since I just preached through it I will say Mark. It has a great rush to get to th email thing: the cross I Jesus.
toss up between John and Luke.
It’s the good news of John for me. It’s all about the intimacy.
Mark, because that’s the one I am reading through right now.
I love them all for different reasons, but I guess the one I turn to the most would have to be Luke.
The Gospel of John is my favorite. I always recommend new believers read that one first.
I enjoy the Gospel of Mark. Jesus is constantly on the move. We can see His compassion, wisdom, and focus on His purpose. I have had the pleasure of preaching through the book of Mark in four different churches. It is a wonderful book.
I love the Gospel of John. Gravitate there more throughout the year it seems.
Matthew, can’t get enough of it.
Luke because of his preciseness and research conducted.
My favorite is John … it’s focus on His divine nature as soon of God
I like Luke . First it was written from a Gentile perspective and has a sequel in Acts.
Luke is my favorite.
I am reading some in MArk now, so I guess that’s my favorite right now!
I would have to say my favorite Gospel is that of the Gospel of John. The Beloved Disciple presents such a strong presentation from the very beginning of his account with “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1 KJV)
I love how John was so spiritually in tune with the Lord and how his account was written with both the Jew and Greek in mind.
The way the Holy Spirit used John is so stunningly beautiful. While “all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable …” (2 Timothy 3:16 KJV) especially so is the Gospel of John.
Tough one, but I will have to say Mark
I enjoy reading Luke. There is a lot of data, personal stories, and the most words of Jesus recorded of any of the Gospels.
Right now it is Mark. We are studying it on Wednesday Nights.
Hard to pick just one. I’d have to go with Luke.
John, because we started preaching through it in September and my eyes have been opened so much!
I love each one equally, but recommend John to those not yet saved.
Since we are starting a sermon series in John this week I have to say John’s gospel. It’s primarily what I’ve been reading lately.
Mark is at the forefront…especially since I am preaching through it currently. Thanks Thom
Luke is probably my favorite but I find myself quoting and referencing John more.
Definitely John. I’ve always thought if I was stranded on a desert island, as long as I had the Gospel of John I’d be okay.
I don’t want to have to pick but perhaps Matthew for the Sermon on the Mount and his version of the passion narratives.
For me, it’s John. His perspective of the beloved disciple is one that draws be back into the transformative love of Jesus and the power of his gospel.
John is my favorite of the four gospels.
I would say John. I love how the first chapter shows God’s redemptive plan through Jesus since the creation of the world.
Can’t pick a favorige, but I am studying Mark right now.
I think my favorite is Q…Just kidding. John is my favorite.
It’s got to be John for me.
Mark, because the ending is a cliff hanger. It drives us to ask why am I not sharing that Jesus is alive if I have seen and believe.
Matthew
Matthew definitely! But reading through Mark right now. It is so straightforward and factual. But I will stick with Matthew.
I love John’s gospel.
My favorite gospel is whatever one I am reading at the time.
John. The prologue alone is priceless and I could mine those riches all my life.
The Gospel of John is my favorite to read.
I LOVE John!
I enjoy Mark.
I like all the gospels but really like john.
No matter what I’m going through, I can open the book of John and sit down at the feet of Jesus. To know Him deeply, to understand the relationship that He desires with us (one with Him), and to hear Him pray for us (chpt. 17) is too incredible for words. Happy or sad, this is my go-to Gospel.
The Gospel of Luke is my favorite; love the narrative of the good physican!!!
Mark my word!
My word for 2013 is NOW. Mark’s gospel is a gospel of action and most often talks about what Jesus was doing “NOW”.
Theres nothing like a good Markan Sandwich. I love that stuff.
i feel John helps me get to know Jesus better than the others.
I love the Gospel of John because it was in reading it that I came to faith in Christ and have continued to grow.
Most likely John.
John without a doubt. The “apostle of love” is the first I read after becoming a believer and gripped my heart like no other Scripture has.
My favorite Gospel is John.
I like all of them, but I would probably say John. Thanks!!!!
Luke. Love the way he writes and presents Jesus.
Luke would be my first choice, but Mark is a close second.
Luke is my favorite. The detailed historian even has a sequel.
John, but Matthew with the sermon on the mount, is a close second.
If I had to pick one it would be Luke’s Gospel. John then Matthew and finally Mark would be next on the list.
Mark would have to be my favorite.
My favorite is John. I’ve had many friends who are non-Christian and never picked up a Bible. When they ask me to help them get started with reading the Bible, I always have them begin with John. I explain that this is the book of love and they’ll know no greater love here on Earth than the love they’ll experience in this gospel.
It’s hard to narrow it down, but I would have to say Matthew since I’ve studied it most.
LUKE
For me, it’s Luke hands down.
Tough decision. If forced to choose, I would choose the gospel of John.
John
It is difficult to pick, just one; it is like saying which of your children is your favorite, but the one in which I have spent the most time is John.
The Gospel of Mark, I’ve just started a small group study going verse by verse this week.
This week’s winner is Adam Parker. Congratulations!
