Do they understand the Gospel?

Mark Broadbent makes a positive case for checking that young people understand the Gospel, in a recent post on neoleader.
Using eight points, he discusses what he and his church have learned about reaching young people.
1. Make sure you and your leaders understand the Gospel.
2. Emphasize key doctrines
3. Take every opportunity to bring out the Gospel
4. Do 6-8 messages a year specifically on the Gospel
5. Do at least two series in depth on the Gospel each year
6. Stop asking people to make a commitment
7. Don't ask them to become Christians - many think they already are
8. Run a basic Christianity course.

These are just the headings. Check out what he has to say in detail on the post itself.
