Bible Study & Devotional
Starts this Wednesday!
How big is your God? This is a rich, meaningful study for anyone desiring to know God and themselves better. You can have no higher goal nor greater joy than to know God personally. And you cannot begin to know Him intimately until you know Him by name.
Author Mary Kassian reveals fascinating insights about 35 Hebrew names of God that
describe His character, His relationships, and His purpose. Saturated in scripture, we’ll learn the significance of each ancient word. Chapters consist of names of deity, character, power, authority, splendor, intimacy, and sufficiency.
The 8-session study includes brief daily homework with enjoyable and engaging activities. We’ll discuss the homework lessons in class. Books will be available at our first class. If you will miss some classes because of summer, join us whenever you can. You’ll be awestruck by the Lord’s magnificence and your heart will be compelled to worship and praise Him.
Don’t miss this opportunity to “Knowing God by Name”. Invite friends too.
Please contact Bonnie Horner at bnnhrn@yahoo to sign up.
