This Is the Church + This Is the Gospel Men's Reading Guide Bundle

This Is the Church
The gospel is the story of what Jesus Christ has done to restore our relationship with God. We are redeemed by grace through faith in Christ alone. In this two-week reading plan, we will read the story of creation, the fall, redemption, and restoration in Scripture. Join us as we discover the all-encompassing impact and everlasting hope of the life and message of Jesus.

This Is the Gospel
The reality of the gospel dictates the existence of a gospel people. The good news of Jesus’s death and resurrection is that of a new life, empowered by the Holy Spirit, as a new community in covenant with God. In this five-week follow-up to This Is the Gospel, we will look at what it means to be the Church and live in response to the good news as a gospel community. In this study, we’ll take a look not at specific denominational structures or practices, but at the broader conversation in Scripture about the nature, purpose, mission, and function of this unique and diverse body of believers united in Christ.
