Getting a Handle on the Bible
Intro to the Getting a Handle on the Bible study
We are startibng our study with an overview of the Bible. Many already know this asic information but for some, this will be new and very helpful.
The Pentateuch - Genesis through Deuteronomy
We will learn all about the first five books of the Bible, including the author and ways to remember what these books are all about.
The 12 Books of Old Testament History
They say that if you don't pay attention to history, you're doomed to repeat it. Obviously God wanted us to know the history of the nation of Israel so we can learn from it.
The Poetic Books of the Bible
The whole Bible is God's Word to us, but some of it is wriiten in prose while some is written in poetic rhythm and rhyme (Hebrew version, of course).
The Prophets
There are 17 prophetic books, some major and some minor, but prophecies can be found in other books as well.
The Gospels and New Testament History
The four gospels are Mathhew, Mark, Luke and John, and the book of NT. history is obviously Acts..
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Look What's Happening on Sundays
Our new Sunday schedule is now in full bloom!! Following our morning services, we meet in our Fellowship Hall in our Family Life Center for a fantastic full lunch @ 11:45ish. Then at 12:15ish, our Senior Pastor, Dr. Ron Wilcoxson, is currently teaching an 8 to 10 week overview of the entire Bible called: "Getting a Handle on the Bible." Dr. Ron will not only cover all of the Bible, but will teach how to study and learn the magnificent life-giving truths from God's Word as well. Join us as we are "Digging Deeper" into the scriptures on Sundays after lunch.
