This week at
Thirsty Thursdays - Young Adult Bible Study
"He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things
and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law,
and that he must be killed and after three days rise again."
Mark 8:31, NIV
If we truly understand and believe in Jesus Christ we will remember that the road ahead will not always be easy. Too many Christians are ready to pack their marbles and go home as soon as they encounter opposition, criticism, antagonism, or doubt.
God did not promise an easy path, but He did promise to be with us on the path. That's a promise that forms the basis of faith! Join us this week as we seek God in every thing we do so that we remain ready for the road ahead.
Rev. Jonathan V. Newton
Minister to Young Adults
Ebenezer A.M.E. Church
Thursday, March 11; 7:00 p.m.
