MIDDLE SCHOOL
This 6-week series will all be about the foundations of our faith. Specifically, what it truly means to be gospel-centered people. We use this word gospel all of the time, but it is foundational for our students to know and understand what it means to for their lives to be gripped by the good news of Jesus Christ.
This series will be broken down into 3 SECTIONS…
1. What is the gospel?
2. What does the gospel do in us?
3. How does the gospel work through us?
So, this summer, our 8 weeks together in this study will be about answering these 3 critical questions.
