local connection…

I’d love to have you join us on Monday evenings for an amazing time of fellowship and intentional time digging in God’s Word!  If you are local to the Madison/Huntsville area please feel free to join us.  We meet at Asbury UMC in room H209.

Our winter study is Read the Bible for Life by Dr. George Guthrie.  We will be using the RBL workbook as our basis for the study, but I encourage you to also grab the trade-book and read that along with us.  Hopefully, you will consider The workbooks will be on sale in the Dwelling Place during normal operation hours as well as our first two Monday evenings.  Workbooks will cost $14.50 (not $16.00 as previously noted).

Dr. Guthrie and B&H Publishing have provided us with tons of resources that I will share with you on our first evening together!  Be ready to jump in and digest some of the most amazing study curriculum I have encountered in awhile.

 

Read the Bible for Life – Workbook by George Guthrie is a participant’s guide to a whole-church approach to greater biblical literacy. This study equips individuals and churches to better understand the Bible by introducing readers to its history, genres, interpretation, and proper application to transform lives through reading and studying God’s Word. God inspired the biblical writers to use a variety of literary types, including stories, poetry, proverbs, parables, and others.

Read the Bible for Life teaches believers how to read the various types of biblical literature in a way that unlocks God’s intended meaning, enabling them to accurately interpret the Bible and appropriately apply its teachings to life. Read the Bible for Life provides tools and a process in the life of a church for ongoing, life-changing training that equips members to understand this grand story and how its various parts fit together. Once people understand the story of Scripture, they can better understand how they fit into that story.
