What Is The Gospel?    18th March 2020 – 7:30pm to 9:00pm

The Apostle Paul writes that the ‘Gospel’ is the power for salvation (Rom 1:16). Therefore, if salvation depends on this Gospel, surely it is paramount we have the correct understanding of what this Gospel is? In this session we will take a closer look at what the Gospel message consists of and how this message shapes the life of both a believer and a Church.
