New Wednesday Night Bible Study

Beginning, Wednesday, July 2nd @ 7:30pm we will begin a new Bible Study on the book of 2 Thessalonians. Since Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians, seeds of false doctrine have been sown among them. Casusing them to waver in their faith. Paul removes these destructive seeds and again plants the seeds of ruth. He begins this letter by commending the believers on their faithfulness in the midst of persecutin and encouraging them that present suffering will be repaid with future glory. Therefore, in the midst of persecution, expectratin can be high. Join us in this exciting new Bible Study!
