Good Question!

After Worship in the Family Life Center

(Answering questions from The Community Bible Experience)

August 24- Why do we follow some Old Testament Laws and not others?

August 31- What about predestination?

TUESDAY MORNING MEN’S BIBLE STUDY

Join us at 6:30am here at Grace in the conference room for the Men’s Bible Study. The study exploring our Vocation and how we, as children of God, have a place in God’s heavenly kingdom. We also have been given a new status here in God’s earthly kingdom. We will look at this dichotomy and how we balance our lives as Christians in a secular world.

LIFE LIGHT BIBLE STUDY

You are invited to come along for an active 9-week exploration of Revelation.

Participants of Life Light uncover Bible truths from the little details to the big-

picture teachings in order to grow their faith.

Through dramatic symbolism, Revelation shows the spiritual conflict that

surrounds life in this sinful world as it displays the Glory of our victorious

Savior, Jesus Christ.

The Life Light Bible Study will begin on Tuesday, September 9, at

9:30am in the Conference room. All are welcome.
