What is America's Idols all about?
First John Five Twenty One presents America’s Idols as a call to Christian’s everywhere to put away our love for the things of this world by exposing the subtle deceptions of idolatry that have been preventing a deeper and saving relationship with Christ. This conference is an invitation to hear God’s counsel on last day issues such as music, entertainment, adornment, relationships and appetite. Youth and Adults alike have pointed questions about what the bible teaches on these real life topics. Our presenters have a burden to tackle these controversial subjects in a Christ centered practical manner that will show that the things of God are truly better than the pleasures of this world. This event is for all ages. Come and hear these messages of victory and discover the better thing God has to offer.
America’s Idols will be hosted at the San Gabriel Academy, 8827 East Broadway, San Gabriel, CA 91776.
