Bible Study - The Knowledge of His Will (The Storyline of the Bible - Adam to Jesus Christ)
Tuesday's bible study was entitled "The Knowledge of His Will". Pastor distinguished the differences between foundations laid rightly with Christ as the center and one where there is no relationship with the man Jesus. The call of the week is to "jump off the ship of the American narrative of church".
Enjoy your time in the Lord!
