010 - Faithful in Obscurity: The Life of William Grimshaw

May 19, 2023  •  "The Gleanings", Jeremy Nelson, Philip Nelson

In today's Church History Snapshot, we consider 5 life lessons from William Grimshaw's faithful life of ministry in an obscure town. Specifically we consider (1) the eternal difference between knowing Christ and merely being part of the visible church; (2) the importance of faithfully serving - even in obscurity - unto God and not personal fame; (3) having an eternal focus; (4) heartache over a worldly son; and (5) faithful speaking the gospel truth unto his death.
