"How You Know God's Your Father"

Thursday, May 29 during the morning Bible study class, Susan Spaugh will begin a new study entitled "How You Know God's Your Father".

Are you sure you're a child of God? How do you know? The key to lasting peace, confidence, and joy in the Christian life is knowing for sure who you are and Whose you are. This step-by-step walk through 1 John can help you discover whether or not you are a true child of God.

By taking note of the way the Bible describes the differences between God's children and those of Satan, you can gain clearer insight into where you stand with God. Through this study you will see how your lifestyle will reflect the character of the One to whom you belong.

Dig into the Apostle John's first letter with Kay Arthur and David and B.J. Lawson. And discover what it means to walk in the light instead of darkness.

Join us Thursday's at 11:00 AM.
