This study uses a combination of movie clips, reading God’s word and discussion to build one another up in the faith. Currently we are studying The Jesus I Never Knew by Phillip Yancey. The back cover of his book reads as follows:
Since its release in 1995, The Jesus I Never Knew has sold over one million copies internationally and garnered church-wide critical acclaim. Phillip Yancey’s award winning book on the teachings, persons, and life of Jesus Christ is a groundbreaking, disturbing, and exhilarating look at Jesus described in the Gospels.
Yancey writes: “The Jesus I got to know in writing this book is very different from the Jesus I learned about in Sunday School. In some ways more comforting: in some ways more terrifying.”
Now you can share in the same exciting breakthroughs as the author. This book will rock your preconceptions and challenge you with hard questions about why those of us who bear His name don’t do a better job of following Him.
The Jesus I Never Knew engages your heart, your mind, your emotions, and your senses, preparing you for a new, life-changing encounter with the real Jesus of the Gospel … and for discoveries as refreshing, unpredictable, and exciting person you’re about to meet.
It includes video teaching notes, Bible exploration questions, and personal study and reflection materials for in-between sessions.
Bible study goes from 9:30 to 10:30, Sunday morning at McKees Baptist Church. Refreshments are provided.
