Subject: Islam in a Republic - What could go wrong?
Pastor Joseph Alghrary was born in Charlotte and grew up in the Craig Ave. ARP Church (Now King’s Cross). He spent many summers visiting his Muslim Family in Iraq and learning about the Arab Culture.
Joseph’s background uniquely prepared him for his missionary work with Muslims in the United States from 2005-2011. He and his Wife Julie moved to Dearborn Michigan to reach out to the large Arab Muslim Community with the Gospel. In Michigan, Joseph began to work with ABN (the Aramaic Broadcasting Network) in hosting Satellite TV, Gospel and apologetic programs geared towards reaching Muslims for Christ.
As a Missionary, Pastor Joseph spoke in many Churches and began to be burdened for the revival of the American Church. It was this burden that brought him to accept a call to pastor Lakeside Fellowship ARP Church (Now Cornerstone ARP) in Mooresville, NC, where he has been ministering since 2011.
Pastor Joseph continues to be involved in apologetics ministry with a heart for Muslims coming to Christ. His primary focus today is his Pastoral Call, and his burden to see true Heaven sent revival come to the American Church for the glory of God.
Pastor Joseph will define the threat of Islam . How it does not work within a Constitutional Republic. Moreover, the threat of Islamic terrorism isn't just an Iranian threat. It is a threat to all Western Civilization.
What is the real purpose of a Mosque? And many other items are open for Q & A!
The Bible clearly details us to put on the shield of faith. Jesus cleared the temple grounds of those practicing evil.
Jesus told the Roman Centurion, "Of such great faith I've not found in all of Israel." Meaning He didn't condemn him for being a soldier. On the contrary!
Peter was told by Christ to reach the Gentiles by giving the good news to another Roman Officer and garrison commander.
To confront the Islamic world we need to understand who they are. Then, how to evangelize such a hopelessly lost people. And, to hold the line with Christ. Christ is the head of the church in which we as Christians are all a part of the same body of Christ. One Church, One Faith, One Baptism!
