THIS SUNDAY we’re looking at Genesis chapter 18 in our message series The Gospel According to Abraham. We’ll look at how Abraham pleads to God to spare the city of Sodom from destruction. There’s much to learn from both Abraham’s attitude and actions, as well as the deeper thing that God was communicating to Abraham about His own character.  This would be a great Sunday to invite someone to join you at Gold Coast!
