KNOWING GOD 4
Sundays, Oct. 3 - Nov. 14
God knows you – through and through – and He loves you anyway! And He wants you to get to know and love Him, too. That’s what the KNOWING GOD series is all about; not just knowing ABOUT God, but getting to know Him better PERSONALLY. These church-wide Bible study programs are designed by Mother Ellen – the fruit of her 35 years of studying and teaching the Word of God – to help all of us, newcomers and old hands alike, to take the next step in our personal relationship with God.
KNOWING GOD 4 will focus on developing true intimacy with the Father, through simple heart-to-heart conversation with Him – otherwise known as prayer. We will learn to actually DO what Jesus says – “Pray like this” – by using His words, which we know as “the Lord’s Prayer,” not as a ritual but as a pattern for our own personal prayer. You may be surprised at the riches to be found in these 64 simple and familiar words!
THE THEMES:
v OUR FATHER – it’s all about relationship
v THANK YOU – Your Kingdom come
v PLEASE – daily bread and forgiveness
v FAITH IN ACTION Weekend – prayer and action
v HELP! – deliver us from evil
v ARE YOU LISTENING? – the silence of God
v SURRENDER – You’re in charge!
THE FORMAT:
v Multi-media BIBLE TEACHING by Mother Ellen, Sundays 10am,
October 3 – November 17
v Weekly SMALL GROUP meetings for hands-on Bible study and fellowship; groups offered every day of the week – for men, for women, for anyone
