"When considering the world religions, we have to look at content, not just terminology or external trappings. We must examine what the religions themselves teach, resisting the temptation to assume that everyone sees the same things we do."

International Teaching Seminar 2009

Thursday, 25 June 2009 00:00

Why Do the Nations Rage?

Can the gospel that is proclaimed for “every nation, tribe, language and people” also be the solution to widespread strife in the world? If so, then Christians ought to exemplify God’s multi-cultural intent in fellowship and worship.

Join us in this seminar as we stare down some of today’s greatest challenges with the Bible and the Gospel.
