I am looking forward to the first Sunday in October when we will begin what I hope will be an enjoyable and in-depth three month Bible study journey together. The scripture passage studied in Sunday School each week will also be the central text for the sermon that day and then the topic for discussion in the following Wednesday night adult Bible study.

This will afford each of us the opportunity to consider Biblical passages, topics and themes in a variety of settings, in a variety of ways and from a variety of perspectives. Hopefully, what will emerge is a deeper understanding of scriptural truth for all who participate.

We will begin with a five-week focus on Baptist distinctives. This will be followed by three sessions dealing with our stewardship of self and of our resources. Late November and the month of December will feature Advent and Christmas passages for consideration.

The way to enjoy the richest experience will be to do the following:
Commit yourself to study of the Sunday School lesson.
Participate in your Life Community’s consideration of each passage.
Actively listen to the sermon on the topic.
Discuss and offer feedback in the Wednesday night Bible study time.

We will have a great time in God’s word, together!
