NEW STUDY FOR GROWING CHRISTIANS
|
WHAT
IF JESUS HAD NEVER BEEN BORN? Such a simple
question but so thought provoking.
Growing Christians Sunday School Class invites you to participate in
this video study beginning Sunday, July 13, 11 a.m. in the classroom off the NW
balcony.
It's based on a book by Dr. D. James Kennedy
A description of the
video says-- The enemies of organized religion try to portray our faith in
Christ as a negative force in the world. This video shows the
impact Christianity has had --the greatest positive effect of any movement in
history!
Here's a link that previews some of the video--
