SHINE! Bible Study Coming in March
As we make ready for the first NID SHINE! Servant Event,
April 14 – 23, 2023, we turn to our Lord’s Word for guidance, equipping and blessing. In March, the SHINE! Bible Study will be available on the NID website to be used as part of your Shine preparation. Jesus clearly demonstrated in word and deed that He is indeed “The Light of the World.” [John 9:5] In this four-session study, we will look at how Jesus showed forth the light of the Gospel in His earthly ministry as He taught and equipped His followers to also “let their light shine.” May the Spirit use this study to ready us to shine the love of Christ in our lives to our neighbors and communities, all to the glory of our Father in heaven!
