The Gospel Truth
About this series
We know the New Testament epistles by the name of the people or places to which they were sent. However, the letters themselves made the rounds through all the churches, carried by messengers who taught the believers. Over the next three Sundays we’re going to engage with three Pauline letters: Philippians, Galatians, and Philemon. Pastor Tim Sprankle (Leesburg Grace), Pastor Jeremy Wike (Community of Hope in Columbia City), and Pastor Kip will be teaching one letter in all three churches.
