We have hope because of the Gospel!

In this study, we will see how a believer can have hope even in the face of the certainty of death, and the uncertainty of the future! We will be challenged to allow this hope to not only give us peace in our grief, but to motivate us to lives of continued faithfulness!

Series description:

We believe the Gospel has the power to change lives, but how often do we see this transformational power in the lives of people we know?

In this series, we will consider the example of Paul’s Gospel preaching ministry in the ancient city of Thessalonica. As we study 1 Thessalonians, we will see the difference the Gospel makes, and be challenged with practical steps that we can take to become more effective Gospel witnesses! Our world is desperate for real change—Gospel Change!
