About the Gospel (3 of 6)
Series: This We Believe

Romans 1:16
Take your Bible and turn to Romans 1. I love the story about the two older gentlemen sitting on a bench outside of a senior citizen home.

I'm hopeful this series will help all of us with that.
Two weeks ago, we looked at what we believe about the Bible. Last week, we studied what we believe about the Trinity. Today, we're going to clarify what we believe about the Gospel.
My prayer isn't that you walk out of here better able to regurgitate the facts of the Gospel. My prayer is that your heart is once again impacted by the truth and the power of the Gos ...
