Sermons on Bold Preaching:

God Sends A Preacher Series

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Sep 11, 2022

But that’s what a sermon is. And so a sermon is an ...read more

"i Have Fully Preached The Gospel"

Contributed by Kyle Campbell on Feb 9, 2022

Paul was an apostle of Christ and a minister of the gospel. As such, he “fully preached the gospel of Christ” (Romans 15:19). What does it mean to “fully preach” the gospel? There are several essentials people have to know in order for them to fully obey the gospel.
