The Word of God
Oct. 28-Nov. 25
The Word of God is the key to the life of a disciple of Jesus. The Word not only tells us the story of God’s great love for us, it is living and active. The Word transforms our mind to see things as they really are rather than the way the world wants us to see things. It was the Word of God that was the key to the Reformation that rocked the world. In this series we will explore the key to our freedom in Christ: the Word of God.
Oct. 28 Word of God—Key to the Reformation
Nov. 3/4 Key for Salvation
Nov. 10/11 Key to Truth
Nov. 17/18 Key for Peace
Nov. 24/25 Key to Wisdom
