FINISH THE COURSE - KEEP THE FAITH
A five-week study on the missionary journeys of the apostle Paul led by Pastor Dennis D. Nelson.
The apostle Paul is an incredible example for us of someone whose life was dramatically changed through an encounter with the risen Lord Jesus. Coming to faith in Christ, he was determined to overcome all barriers - including geography, ethnic and cultural differences, and hostile responses - to share the Gospel of Jesus. Paul wrote in his letters, "My God will supply all your needs," "Give thanks in all circumstances," and "I have learned in whatever state I am to be content." What he wrote has great credibility because that is the way he lived his life.
During this five-week study Pastor Nelson will show how what Paul experienced in his life has great application and significance for our lives. His teachings will be illustrated by pictures from the pilgrimage he went on in October 2016 to Turkey and Greece to follow in the footsteps of Paul.
