The Church is the Gospel Made Visible (Session I)

Speakers: Mark Dever Year: 2010 Session: Main Session

What kind of gospel is your local church making visible? God ought to be displayed in the local church through the church’s focus on holiness, God’s love and His authority. The congregation ought to display the gospel through remembering that each individual is an image bearer, each human being is fallen, and each person has the ability to confess and forgive sin. The biggest picture for the world to see proof of the gospel is the church.
