Several classes are available, as well as are a variety of written resources.
Classes
Bible Study, every Wednesday 10:00 AM - We are currently studying the Book of Ruth.
-
The book of Ruth is named after the Moabite woman who was jointed to the Israelite people by her marriage with a very important person (VIP) named Boaz. The book contains a beautiful example of filial piety, pleasing the Hebrews especially because of its connection with King David, and useful to Hebrews, Gentiles, and us. The major theme of the book is to demonstrate the divine reward for such piety even when practiced by a stranger.
-
Ruth's piety, her spirit of self-sacrifice, and her moral integrity were favored by God with her gift of faith and a marriage whereby she became the ancestress of David and of Christ.
-
Another theme discovered in this book is that the love of God is limited to a nationality or a cultural boundary. God's love is universal.
-
To know more about all these themes, please join us every Wednesday at 10 AM when we let the Holy Spirit guide us to study the Word of God and apply it to our daily life.
