It’s common for people outside the church to have confusion over what the gospel is. But it’s also common for people inside the church to have confusion over it too, even in churches that apply that term in their ministries.

The gospel reorients us to God and it reorients everything in our life, especially how those in Christ participate in the church. Join our study in Ephesians 3:1-13 to learn about the blessing of the gospel and how it changes our lives in relation to the church.
