Specifically, we believe that Paul’s letter shares a blueprint for how the gospel deepens churches and spreads out into the surrounding culture. Our hope and prayer is that during these next several weeks, the Holy Spirit will illuminate our hearts and minds. There are two specific things we are praying for during this time. One, that we would have a greater sense of how we are to care for one another. Second, that we will have a better understanding of the role “good works” plays in the Christian Life. Below are a few resources that we are asking you to engage with as we move forward as a church.
