Men Resisting the World Image

Men Resisting the World Image

Pastor Jack draws from the creation account and the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to explore God's desire to restore His image in men and resist the world's pressure to conform them to its mold. Speaking at the January 1974 men's retreat, he challenges scores of men to prepare themselves to become elders in the body of Christ, addressing patterns from the past, job, marriage, home, and schedule that need transformation. Pastor Jack emphasizes that true ministry flows not from what we do, but from who we are becoming as the Holy Spirit shapes Christ's image in us.
