LIFE OF CHRIST

Class on the Four Gospels Starts TODAY

9:45amBethany Room

If you are looking for a class to examine the

gospels and seek information on Jesus, this is

the course!

Pastor David will begin leading this course on

Sunday mornings at 9:45am in the Bethany

Room. The course is set up to use the

“Synopsis of the Four Gospels,” a book thatgives the reader a topical study of each story

that is written in the gospels. For Example: if a

particular story about Jesus is found in both

Matthew and Luke, the synopsis presents both

versions of the story, side by side, so they can

be read at the same time and examined. If you

would like a copy of this book, please contact

the church office. The price (discounted) is

$26.

Pastor David also uses small group discussion

and visualization of the Biblical Story in the art

of the church to encourage conversations

about the texts. The purpose of this course is

to help Christians to know Jesus Christ more

fully. To know the grace of Christ, the love of

Christ, the ways of Christ for our daily lives.

That is what we want for ourselves, our family,

our friends, and our world around us. By

carefully studying the life of Christ, it is ourhope that the Spirit of Jesus Christ may come

to live in us more fully.
