Promise Keepers 2003 @ Philips Arena 6p
The theme
for Promise Keepers 2003 is “The Challenge: A Call To Action.”
Inherent in this theme is the understanding that men need a challenge,
a challenge to surrender to Christ, to follow Him, to grow in faith
and obedience, and to serve Him as a son in His Kingdom. Because
sin has twisted man’s original design and because the unredeemed
man relates to his world either in passive acquiescence or in hostile
domination, Promise Keepers is calling men to a life of action that
is aligned with God’s original design for a man: a life that
is no longer self-centered, but God-centered; a life that is no
longer lived in isolation but in brotherhood; a life that is no
longer self-serving, but spent on serving others and sharing with
them the redemptive plan of Almighty God through His Son Jesus Christ.
Doors open at 4:00p, conference begins at 6:00p on Friday, 8:30a
on Saturday.
