WEDNESDAY BIBLE STUDY
"The Case for Christ"
Fellowship Hall
|
Apologetics in theology does not mean apologize, it does mean to find the reasons for faith. This four week study will delve into the compelling facts about Christ which support the conclusion that Jesus Christ is who he said he was, the Son of God, the Savior of the World who died and rose again. We will watch clips from the movie “The Case for Christ” (2017), which follows Lee Strobel on his journey from Atheism to Faith in Christ.
The schedule is as follows:
Sept. 4
Embracing the Truth of Christ
Sep. 11
Explaining the Good News of
Christ
A Potluck Build Your Own Salad and dessert
dinner begins at 5:30: study begins at 6:00 and will conclude at 7:15.
Everyone is welcome. If you have not seen the entire movie it is currently available on Netflix and at our Maricopa County Library. Do you not need to have seen the movie before you attend, but you may like to.
