People talk all the time about what they’re looking for in a church—worship styles, children’s ministry, preaching style. In part one of Gospel Faith, Pastor Colin talks about what God is looking for in a church.
Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:1-7
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,
2 To Timothy, my true child in the faith:
Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
