Despite Jesus’ divinity, a good part of his teachings are about earthly matters, shown through his parables about coins and farming activity, which were pertinent issues then.
In today’s context, Christians still face earthly anxieties—matters related to money, business and technology. While we can take comfort in knowing that God is present in the marketplace, how should we discuss such issues today in a Biblical manner?
In this session, Dr Lee Soo Ann will expound upon how God is present amidst our day-to-day affairs, and show the link between Biblical truths and marketplace issues of today.
