Bible Study

Sunday Mornings 10:15 - 11:00 a.m. in the Norwood Room

All are invited to join small group Bible Study this winter. Over 12 weeks, beginning Sunday, Jan. 31, small groups will meet Sunday mornings, 10:15 a.m., in the Norwood Room to study of the Book of Ezekiel.

Ezekiel presents some of the most theologically challenging and dynamic material among the prophetic books of the Hebrew Bible. It wrestles with the problem of the Babylonian exile in a manner not unlike the modern problem of the Shoah or Holocaust: Why did God allow Jerusalem and the Temple to be destroyed, and why did God allow the people of Israel to be carried away into exile? (The Access Bible) Come explore these and other questions about the Book of Ezekiel.
