Bible 201 (Page 11)
Bible 201 is our weekly teaching and training time, where we delve deeply into many different biblical topics. While we look at some of the “what” matters in God’s Word, Bible 201 focuses more on the “why” and “how” of our daily lives as believers. This usually requires taking several weeks, if not months, to work through together. We ask and answer difficult questions, seeking to grow closer to Jesus individually and as a group, so that we may more fully embrace His mission for us.
Our Attitude Toward Death
Themes: What do Believers really think about death and dying? Mature Believers must actualize, demonstrate, discuss and confirm that Jesus and His “gift” is truly amazing. We live in a world where young and other people do not know what to live for.
Our Hesitancy to Proclaim Jesus
Themes: We’re hesitant to fearlessly proclaim Jesus’ greatness because we’re uncomfortable with humiliation. Humanity does not want a God that is humiliated. Humanity does not want a God who humiliates Himself.
