We Are Gospel-Centered (1 of 4)
Series: Foundations

1 Corinthians 15:3
Today we're starting a four-week series called 'Foundation'. We're going to look at four foundational elements of who we have been, who we are, and who we will be as a people saved through God's Son, soaked with God's Spirit, and sent on God's mission.

He preached the Gospel to the Jews. He preached the Gospel to the Gentiles.
He preached the Gospel to religious leaders. He preached the Gospel to idol worshippers.
