What Is The Lord Saying To The Church?

How The Church Spreads The Gospel Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 7, 2008

the Church is a divinely instituted community with a task to carry out: to share the gospel with the world. If we’re to be a church that reaches people with the gospel we’ll need to be a church that not only receives the gospel but exemplifies it and then
