Heaven-8 weeks (4:30) : Randy Alcorn describes Heaven and all things related to the afterlife. The central endeavor of the book is to dismantle the misconceptions that the spiritual and material realms are at odds and that the physical has no place in eternity. Heaven focuses on the reality of a bodily resurrection and eternal life in the new heavens and new earth. Last night will watch the movie, “Heaven is for Real”.
Facilitator: Gayle Saunders
Walking In The Desert With Ray 12 – 13 weeks (6:30) : The Exodus of the Hebrew s from Egypt to the Promised Land was more than a compassionate act of divine deliverance. It was God’s calling of a people to be His “treasured passion”, “Kingdom of Priests”, and “Holy Nation” who could put Him on display for the whole world to see. Can the Hebrews accomplish their mission? Come walk with Ray Vander Lann and we will travel from Egypt through the Sinai Desert to the Promised Land and learn even more! God Heard their cry!
Facilitator: Terry Broadwater
