The Gospel of John – Part 1 – The Word Became Flesh

You will interpret the meaning of these passages in the context of Scripture and discover what truths can be applied to your personal life as you learn what Jesus and His disciples experienced in their relationships with God. In this study you will be digging deep into the details of John 1-11 and discovering how God ministered to His people at that time.

Through the Desert: A Study of God’s Faithfulness
by Lina AbuJamra

TUESDAY AFTERNOONS

This 6-week interactive video-based Bible study of God’s faithfulness during difficult times invites you to experience a fresh move of God in your life even in spiritual deserts. In the midst of suffering, we often feel spiritually parched. We wonder if God is with us in this barren land or if He is simply a mirage. Lina AbuJamra invites us on a journey to the desert with Abraham, the Israelites, John the Baptist, and Jesus showing us how we can trust in God’s presence while still acknowledging our pain because God longs to reveal His faithfulness to us … exactly when we need Him most.

Led by Donna Osenga, 1:00-3:00 PM at Gale Tomlinson’s home: Crista Ann Ct. Bloomington. Class Dates: October 15 – November 19. Contact Donna Osenga at [email protected] or (309)452-4336 with questions. Book cost: $12. Register by October 6 to guarantee a book before the study begins.

Mentoring Made Real

Groups will meet in September and October. After you sign up, we will get a copy of the book to you so that you can read the first part before the first meeting.

Books cost $10. Don’t have time to join a group? Sign up to purchase a copy of the book to read on your own. Questions? Contact Sue Jackson, [email protected] or 309-706-1619.
