This Sunday, we’ll be starting a new sermon series called “Gospel OUT! Living out the gospel: sermons from the letter of James.” The purpose for this series is as follows: for the last two months or so, we’ve been looking at nine of the key Christian doctrines (“The Contenders” sermon series): the deity of Jesus, total depravity, justification by faith alone, regeneration, substitutionary atonement, the authority of Scripture etc. This was what one could call “Gospel IN” – what is the gospel, what do Bible-believing Christians believe, why we should believe it, and what we should fight and die for (and what we shouldn’t).

Following Gospel IN, the next big questions is: what does it mean to live these great truths out? That’s what Gospel OUT is all about. Following is the week by week programming of Gospel OUT. It’d be great if you could read the Bible passages before they are preached, so you get more out of the sermons.
