Worship at Slash Church

From Sunday:

Sermon: Unhindered Gospel

Scripture: Matthew 28

In the New Testament we see that the gospel is for everyone. There’s no partiality, bias, or hindrance to who can receive the good news that forgiveness of sin and eternal life are available to all through Christ. Isaiah prophesied about this reality in the Old Testament, and Jesus fulfilled it in the New. “For all the promises of God find their ‘YES!’ in Christ.” (2 Cor. 1:20)
