Where: Room 5
Adult Bible Study Class
The Church encourages all of us to read the Bible as part of our daily prayer life. The Bible is the story of God's relationship with the people he has called to himself. God teaches us the truths that we need for the sake of our salvation. You don’t have to be a bible scholar to attend our Adult Bible Study class. Bring a bible, be open to God’s word, and ask questions. The application of God’s word in our own lives is the goal of each class. As we allow the word to direct us each day, we will soon see how God affects our lives in so many ways. Please spread this information to your family and friends. Encourage them to join us each Thursday evening, where they can grow in knowledge of God and most of all establish and strengthen their personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 tells us,
“All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work”
Classes are held on Thursday evening in Room 5, located downstairs in the church. We meet September through May. We will be studying The Gospel of John.
The Gospel of John is dramatically different than the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke). Instead of organizing historical events into a chronology, John presents Jesus in all of his theological grandeur. He gives us fewer stories than the other gospels, but those he does present are rich with detail.
Unlike the authors of the synoptic gospels, John steeps his gospel in abundant symbolism, both theological and sacramental. Images like bread, light, sheep, water and world permeate the text providing rich food for meditation. John presents no parables and relatively few stories of healings. Instead, Jesus gives several long discourses which are teeming with theological content.
The gospel of John is a delightful book, full of theological insight and spiritual life.
Our first class will be Thursday, 9/5/19 @7:00 pm in Room 5.
