Series EDUCATION with Pastor Kurt Piesslinger, M.A. |
9.THE CHURCH AND EDUCATION |
The Bible is full of stories of people who burned full of love for Jesus.
Memory Text:
1 Thessalonians 2:6-8 – Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when we might have made demands as apostles of Christ. But we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children. So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.
9.4 Seeking Truth
Whoever asks questions will get answers. Whoever asks Jesus will get the best answers.
