We have been having some very good Bible studies in our Auditorium Adult class on both Wednesdays and Sundays. We just completed an intensive study of 1 Corinthians in our Sunday morning class in which we viewed the various problems the church there in Corinth was facing and the help and instructions the apostle Paul gave them to help them overcome those things. We had a lot of comments during our classes and hope we were all strengthened in our faith as a result of this study. Now, we are just beginning a new study in our Sunday morning Bible class. Our study is entitled “Coming To Know God and His Eternal Plan.” We are going to learn, see how the Bible is just ONE book with God’s eternal plan taught in it from start to finish. We had our introductory lesson last Sunday and today we will get into the study itself. In our Wednesday evening class we have been studying church history. We began with a study of the establishment of the church itself and then its growth and development over time. Then we began to look at the falling away and how so many left the Lord’s way to follow their own beliefs and teachings. Last Wednesday evening we concluded our brief overview of the “Reformation” period of history and got into the “Restoration” period. We will probably conclude our study of the “Restoration” that occurred here in the U.S. this coming Wednesday evening and be ready to begin a new class next week. I had asked for suggestions and got one that we will be studying. Our new Wednesday evening class will be “A Study Of Christian Evidences”. As we go through this study we will look at logical and scientific proofs for the reality of God, of Christ and the Bible being God’s Word. We must never forget the words of the apostle Paul in Romans 1:20 where he said, “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.” The proof for the existence of, the reality of God is all around us, all we have to do is look and pay attention.
The student notes for both of these new classes - “Coming To Know God And His Eternal Plan” and “A Study Of Christian Evidences” are available in the foyer. I am really hoping that the combination of these two classes will accomplish two things. One, really improve our knowledge and understanding of God’s word and how it all fits together and secondly, really enable us to reach out to others and be able to demonstrate to them the factuality and truthfulness of God’s word. And, with all of this, that each of us will be drawn closer to our God because of our closer connections to Him through His word. I hope that everyone will do everything he or she can to be a part of these special classes.
Until next week, I love you all,
Dan
