Topic:
“Everyday Christianity”
God was at work in the everyday life of the church at Thessalonica. We will explore the parallel between this New Testament church of Greece, compared to the American church today. You will be astonished how nothing has really changed in combating the influence of culture on the church. Pastor Plek will challenge all to impact the culture – whether military or civilian – with the love of Christ.
