The gospel can be confusing. What exactly should be included in the presentation of it? What does God require of us to receive forgiveness of our sins? How do we receive the gift of eternal life?
Our new series, Clear as Mud, will answer these questions and more. No message is more important than the gospel—so, let’s clear it up.
