3. Join us for a 4 week series beginning February 12th on
Sunday evenings from 6:00-7:30 as we consider the beauty
of how God has produced, protected and preserved the
Bible. We live in a world where pluralism seems to be the
accepted way of life. The idea of absolutes are being doubted
or rejected. This is true especially in the area of "religion" or
any discussion of "how does one get to heaven?" followed by
"by what standard would one have to know that his way is the
best or the only way?" This topic considered by Dr. Sam
Vinton, a missionary at heart with a love for the Scriptures
and a love for God's people, will lead us in this important
discussion. Our authority comes from the Word of God
revealed in the written Word we each can own and read.
Don't miss out on this great time of discussion and fellowship
around the Bible and how it came to be.
How We Know the Bible Came from God
SO THAT WE KNOW HOW MANY STUDY BOOKS TO PREPARE,
PLEASE SIGN UP HERE TO BE PART OF OUR SUNDAY EVENING
SERIES ON “HOW WE KNOW THE BIBLE CAME FROM GOD.”
