Anyone " need" to do a Bible Study?
Join Charlene Buckley beginning April 28th @ 5:00p.m. for an amazing time in God's Word. We will be studying " Someone Like Me"- The Life of Elijah," by Dr. David Jeremiah. It is an in-depth study of the book entitled " These Are The Days of Elijah" written by R. T. Kendall.
Dr. Jeremiah says that out of everyone in the Bible, we should identify with Elijah. James 5:17 states it clearly: " Elijah was a man with a nature like ours." The Bible pulls no punches on this point.
From this prophet's life we will learn to pray with power and persistence like he did. We will learn to have faith and wait on the Lord when nothing makes sense in our lives. We will learn to let God order our steps, letting go of our past so we can embrace the future God has for us.
Charlene is inviting men and women to join her in this inspiring study. We will meet in Charlie Fortenberry's Sunday School for this study. Please let Charlene know or contact the church office if you are interested. This will give us the number of books we will need to order.
Charlene prays that you will have the desire to learn these lessons from the life of Elijah. She is looking forward to studying God's word with you!
