Ten Key People of the Bible - Adult Forum Series
Begins Today!
IT IS NOT UNCOMMON to hear someone exclaim, "What a character she (he) is!" when referring to some unforgettable person. The person usually has distinctive personality traits or behavior. Life is full of such characters, and in this study we are going to meet some of them. They are people who lived a long time ago, and were so memorable in the history of faith that their stories have been recorded in the Scriptures.
The ten key people we will meet are a diverse group. They are male and female, Jew and Gentile, warrior and homemaker, courageous and frightened, and faithful and unfaithful. But all of them have one thing in common. They all play an important role in God's plan of salvation for the world.
We will meet ten key people in five separate sessions. We will learn about their admirable qualities and what God accomplishes through them.
Session 1 |
Abraham
(Genesis 18:1-15)
|
Session 2 |
Ruth
(Ruth 1:1-18)
|
Session 3 |
Deborah
(Judges 4:1-24)
|
Session 4 |
Mary the
mother of Jesus (Luke 1:26-38)
|
Session 5 |
Peter
(Matthew 16:13-23)
|
The sixth session will help us summarize what we have learned as well as emphasize the study's application to our daily lives.
This course is designed to be user friendly. Bible scholars or Bible beginners - this is for you!
Taught by Pastor Howell.
Sunday School
In October we studied the story of Mary and Martha and participated in lots of activities about Hospitality. This month we will be studying the Sabboth. A Commandment. Come and join in Pearson Hall on Sundays during the Education Hour, 9:15-10:15 a.m!
