Johnson University Chapel Address – October 2018

I had the honor and privilege of speaking at Johnson University’s chapel service on October 11. Continuing their series titled “Because of Your Participation in the Gospel,” I addressed how we can intensify our participation in the Gospel by partaking of the Eucharistic body of Christ in order to become the ecclesial body of Christ, broken and poured out for the life of the world.
