Genesis to Revelation - Thursdays at 6:30pm.
Study the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation, including a verse-by-verse, in-depth look at the Scriptures and background material. This study is ongoing, but you can join them at any point. They began studying Acts in August and plan to follow that with Numbers/Deuteronomy in November, Job next March, and Luke next July. Discussions will include focus on word studies, the history of the biblical setting, and a consideration of today’s geography as compared to biblical geography. Along with discussions, use of a participant book will aid the process of applying Scripture to current life situations. This study is geared toward participants who want to take their faith journey to the next level (regardless of the level they may presently be on) and are interested in developing deep ties and experiencing multi-generational relationships with other members of the church. Participants are expected to attend as many classes as possible and will be provided with a rich learning environment. Led by Dave Huller, dhuller@cox.net; contact him regarding book purchase.
