Gospel Focus 12.02.2017 ↓

Setting aside all the things that distract, the church should keep its focus on the Gospel. In 1 Timothy 1:15, Paul writes: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst." To be a church that lasts we need to keep this good news, the Gospel, in full view.

Wrong Focus 05.02.2017 ↓
