    Encountering The Gospel Of Jesus Christ At The Most Unexpected Time And In The Most Unexpected Place. Series

    Contributed by Mark Van Cuylenburg on May 11, 2020
     | 4,076 views

    We preach The Gospel Of Jesus and we live The Gospel Of Jesus, and because of who we are we can do both even when we don't realise it.

    Sometimes we respond to people’s sin and think we are responding the way that God would have. The best way to see how to deal with sin is to see how Jesus dealt with people’s sins during His life.

They went to the local Christian church and were there every time the doors were open. They tried very hard to center their relationship around ...read more

    God’s desire is that we experience a fresh encounter with Him. But what does a fresh encounter look like? To answer this question let’s see what a fresh encounter with God looks like through Jesus’s letter to the Ephesian church and in the life of the prophet Isaiah.
