Sunday, October 12 & Sunday, December 14 / 10:45 a.m.–noon / Room 253 / Led by Rev. Steve Matthew

ONLINE BIBLE STUDY, The Old Testament
Too often we look at the Old Testament and see it only in a superficial manner rather than realizing the whole message that is the Love of our Creator God desiring a close personal relationship with each one of us.  Too often we see the violence that is in much of the O.T. and think this is the action of a vengeful God.  When we look deeply, we see the broken hearted God who is grieving over the waywardness of His children whom He loves without measure.
Alert to all potential online students: This class as most online classes is designed for visual learners.  If you are an auditory learner—you learn and relate better to materials that are spoken to you, rather than presented in a visual manner—you may want to reconsider if an online class is for you. Certainly, auditory learners can adapt to the visual, but since these classes are to be read, rather than spoken to you, sometimes, it is not as enjoyable a learning experience.  Feel free to contact Rolph for more information at rolphf@sbcglobal.net.
