Worship at Slash Church

From Sunday:

The Gospel of John: So that We May Believe

What is Your Motivation?

John 12:12-19

Welcome to the beginning of Holy Week at Slash Christian Church. Today is Palm Sunday, the day when Jesus was welcomed into Jerusalem. The people who welcomed him that day did not really know Jesus like you do. They had heard about the signs and the teachings, but they had not yet really understood who Jesus was. So, what was their motivation to be there that day?

Lenten Bible Study to focus

on the Book of John:

The Gospel of Light and Life

In-Person Bible Study

Tuesday mornings 10:00 - 11:30 am

Zoom Bible Study

Wednesday nights 7:00 - 8:30 pm

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/3356372572

Zoom Meeting ID: 335 637 2572

There are two themes tying the six Bible study sessions together. In the prologue to his Gospel, John wrote that Jesus Christ is “the light for all people”, John 1:4. Toward the end of the Gospel John tells us that “these things were written so that you will believe that Jesus is the Christ, God’s son, and that believing you will have life in his name”, John 20:31. Throughout the study we will all be invited to reflect on these two themes as related to our own lives.
