Much of the New Testament is letters written to churches in specific cities. (For instance, Paul wrote a letter to the Christians in Ephesis, or the Ephesians.) The authors would write to encourage churches that were either being persecuted, or were suffering, or getting tired of following Jesus. We’ll have several people come visit us in Madison and encourage us in our first year as a church plant. We’re calling these sermons “Letters to the Madisonians” to reflect the practice of the early church.
Today's message is from Ben Cunningham, the pastor of a church plant in New Orleans, and Fr. Scott's brother.
