Reading and understanding the Bible should not be difficult. In fact, this is one reason why we remember Martin Luther. He was responsible for getting the Scriptures into the hands of common people so that they could learn the truths of God. In these brief lessons, we will be reprogramming ourselves with the rules of reading, interpreting, and applying the the truths of God's Word.
If you missed a lesson or would like the lesson paperwork in electronic form, we will be providing it here as the lesson arrives. If you can make it, join us Wednesday nights at 7pm beginning June 9th and ending June 30th. For those of you attending the classes, we will be applying what we learn to the book of Jonah. Also, you can submit any questions and comments to Jacob Abshire.
