Religious Relics
Led by Pastor Malinak May 5th
10 AM in the Sanctuary
The Shroud of Turin, a crown of thorns, a wooden manger... through the ages religious relics have been preserved and drawn visitors from all over the globe to view these items. Are these relics worthy of adoration, or do they create a misplaced faith? In this class we will affirm the archeological evidence which supports God's Word while exposing a misuse of religious relics.
"Understanding Heaven and Hell"
Resumes May 12th
Led by Pastor Eibel 10 Am in the Sanctuary
What happens when we die? If God is merciful, why is there a hell? What will heaven and hell be like? These and other questions will be explored in this biblical examination of the doctrines of heaven and hell.
The Word of The Lord, Seeing Jesus in the Prophets by Nancy Guthrie.
Thursday Evenings 6:45-8:30 PM through May 23.
Through this 10 Week Study we will explore a fresh perspective on the message of the Old Testament prophets and a broader understanding of Jesus as the fulfillment of Scripture. Study Guides are $14.50.
For more information, contact Brenda Klingbeil at 817-691-9959.
