Midweek Bible Study
Wednesdays, begins September 25, 11:00 a.m., Chapel, 6:00 p.m., Social Hall
Please join us as we examine some questions every Christian should ask (and answer). Pastor David and other staff members will help us discover how Scripture answers these critical questions. Some of the topics include:
- Is the Bible actually true?
- Were Adam and Eve real people?
- Can we know for sure that Jesus was raised from the dead?
- Why does a good God allow so much suffering?
- Does the Bible condone genocide?
- Does the Bible justify slavery?
-
Does the Bible actually condemn same-sex relationships?
