Adult Study on the Bible
New Adult Study
Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible
Wednesdays – 6:00pm
Starting September 23
Join us for this 8-week video and discussion series. Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible reveals the “big picture” of Scripture by showing how fourteen key narrative books tell the story of salvation from Adam and Eve to Christ and the Church today. You will follow the major people, places, and events of the Bible across twelve time periods to understand the story of Scripture and discover your place within it. Bring your Bible and your friends and join us for class.
Facilitators: Donald Meinhardt and Stephen Clark
No cost to attend, but an optional workbook may be available for you to purchase through Ascension Press
