EXAMINING THE GOSPEL MESSAGE THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE, with Dennis Park.

What makes the Bible the all-time best-selling book? It would have to be Christians' desire to distribute the Bible to the ends of the world to make God's message of salvation accessible to everyone. God desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4) and Jesus said that this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world (Matthew 24:14). The central message of the Bible is unmistakably clear: the message of salvation through Jesus Christ.

This message is so simple and yet deeply profound. During this block of ENCORE, we will attempt to examine the gospel message throughout the Bible from multiple angles and plumb its depth, gaze its height, and measure its width. We hope you will learn for your benefit and be equipped to share the gospel with others.
