Becoming more like Jesus
Tuesdays, March 3-24, 10:00 am or 6:30 pm – Lenten study: The Promise and Power of Easter. Please sign up so that Pastor Ron and Pastor Becky are prepared.
Each week there will be a quotation from the study resource, plus Scriptures that participants should read ahead of time, and a discussion theme. For March 3:
“I think the common perception is to think of the God of the Old Testament as a punitive God of wrath and the God of the New Testament as a Jesus Kind of grace. Yet God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are perfectly eternal, and that posture of redeeming us traces all the way to the very beginning.”
Scripture: Luke 24:13-27 & Genesis 15:1-21
Be ready to discuss: Your personal celebrations of Lent and Easter.
