As Christians, we are a people who are “in the world, but not of the world.” As the nation around us continues to embrace a culture of death, how can we learn from the example of Elijah to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and stand firm in our faith as people of God, the author and giver of life? At this conference, we will examine the life of Elijah, the message that he preached to a nation straying from God, and be comforted that the Word of the Lord endures forever. We will also be studying current life issues and how to speak clearly on important cultural matters.
