When responding to the world around us, it’s all too easy for Christians to be dragged from one issue to the next without reflecting on the bigger picture.
That’s one reason we started our Gospel Issues seminars, which provide a deeper look at some of the foundational issues affecting society today.
We’ve featured all of our Gospel Issues videos for you to catch up with below (newest to oldest). Please share with others at your church, and keep checking our events page for details of the next in the series.
