True Good News, It’s Divine
This morning we will worship in song, in prayer, through the Word and at the Table. As we do, we hold high the risen Lord Jesus Christ and we proclaim his eternal gospel. As Pastor Jim Renke leads us through Galatians 1:1-5, we will see that the gospel is from God himself. And the gifts of the gospel are received when we hold to the unshakeable gospel of Jesus.
