Gospel DNA
This fall Pastor will be doing a sermon series called Gospel DNA based on a book by the same name by Michael Newman. He is the Texas District President. Because of Jesus we are a new creation. Every organism has specific DNA so do Christians! The book highlights "five markers of a flourishing church." In reality, the markers are practices of every Christian. If you are a reader, you may enjoy buying the book. Gospel DNA: Five Markers of a Flourishing Church by Michael Newman is available on Amazon for $12.
