Christ The Promise Of Glory Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 7, 2005

The gospel we have to share is a message of both warning and of great hope. It’s a message that proclaims Jesus Christ, the promise of Glory.

It’s a message that Paul describes in Romans 1 as the power of God for salvation. Yet the means by which this message is presented is so often ...read more
