Produktbeschreibung

Seeking God's direction for your life? In our confusing world, many church members are searching for direction, yet their churches have abandoned Bible-centered preaching and teaching in favor of the many modern popular philosophies prevalent today. This series looks at the culture around us in the light of Bible teaching. - This book examines Bible teaching as it relates to our modern situation, through practical illustrations and Biblical principles. - Book two examines the various aspects of the world around us in light of the Bible teaching laid out in book one. - Book three examines the needs around us and explores ways that we can meet those needs through personal, church-based, and community-based ministries. - A fourth book, designed for church leaders, looks at the church, it's functions, and how it can organize to carry out it's mission more effectively.
