Why a Sunday Night Theology in the Lehigh Valley?
Sunday, September 15, 2024
5:00 – 6:30pm
Missed this seminar? Recording available here: YouTube, Podcast
Topic: Dr. Johnson birthed this lecture series concept at his own church several years ago and has been asked to share with us, “Why A Sunday Night Theology in the Lehigh Valley?” His lecture will also address “The Whole Gospel” and how the Bible should be read in light of the entire work of Christ. Although God’s grand plan of redemption climaxes at the cross of Jesus Christ, it’s not the whole story. This lecture will help us consider the multifaceted nature of the whole gospel story, and how an understanding of each of these facets helps us to connect all of Scripture to the person and work of Christ.
