- The Gospel of Matthew - with Jeff Cavins..
- Matthew: The King and His Kingdom will be offered on Wednesday evenings and is a follow up to The Great Adventure and is part of completing this study. This study explores the life and mission of Jesus as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew demonstrates how the promises and prophecies of the Old Testament are fulfilled in Christ. Both Studies are 24 weeks long beginning in September. Again please call Barb at the above number for more information.
During this study of Matthew you will –see Jesus as the Son of David, the Son of Abraham, the New Moses, the True Manna, the New Temple and learn what this means for us today. Learn how Jesus reconstituted the struggling kingdom of Israel around Himself and opened the Kingdom of God to all people. Witness how Christ established his Church with the Twelve Apostles, and Peter as his vicar. Discover the roots of the sacraments and see how Jesus ‘words and actions are reflected in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass Watch Jesus re-live the history of Israel as the obedient Son who trusts the Father, defeats hell and the grave, and rises to new life - The Bible Timeline: The Story of Salvation, by Jeff Cavins
- Bible Timeline: The Story of Salvation Thursday Mornings in the Church Hall from 9 until 11 a.m.
“At the core of The Great Adventure Bible study program is the concept the even though the Bible is in essence a Library of seventy-three separate books, running through them is a story that ties them all together and makes sense not just of them but of our lives as well.” Jeff Cavins, Sarah Christmyer, and Dr. Timothy Gray - This study will meet on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 until 9:00 p.m.
