Week One - Nov 22 at 7 pm EST

 

We will kick off the study on Sunday, November 22 at 7 pm, EST. The first week will be a general introduction to the study, a time of virtual fellowship and an opportunity for everyone to get the technical issues worked out. The good news is that, for the most part, folks have figured out Zoom and have likely participated in a Zoom or Google Meet event.  

Since our study is based on the parables of the Bible, give some thought to that for week one. Your questions to ponder for week one are as follows.

·       In general, why were parables use as a teaching instrument?

·       Are they still used in modern times?

·       If you were teaching a person or audience a new topic that they may not easily understand, how would you do this?

·       Closely related to the previous question, how do we learn new information?

As an aside, the first two parables in our study are in the Old Testament and they will be an interesting place to start. The remainder come from the New Testament.

The Zoom link for our study is 696 778 0839. Just open Zoom, click that you want to join a meeting, and then enter this meeting ID. After you have used it once, Zoom will save it for next time.

Finally, if you have any questions, feel free to use the form on the right side of this page.

John 3

 We just finished the third chapter of John in our Sunday evening study and it is amazing to consider the number of statements in these first three chapters that affirm the deity of Jesus. This is the beauty of studying the Bible verse by verse rather than topical studies, you get a much fuller sense of what is written and it’s much easier to understand the context as well. If you were to look up the purpose of John’s gospel on the internet, you would get something like “John wrote his gospel to clearly state the deity of Jesus.” In fact, we get John’s purpose statement in chapter 20, verse 31: “… but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.” (NASB) So, we only have to read the first three chapters of John to understand who Jesus was and how we can be saved. And we don’t have to read past the first half of chapter 1 to see the deity of Jesus proclaimed by John. Of cou...

About the Sunday Night Bible Study NEW TIME - 7:30pm

Blog Purpose:   This blog will support our on-going Sunday night Bible study, which meets at 7:30 pm, EST on Google Meet. You can subscribe using the button at the top of the page and you will get an email when updates are made to the blog. Normally, a post will be made weekly to introduce the study for that week. About the Study:   The title of the blog, “Two are Better Than One” comes from Ecclesiastes chapter 4. Now more than ever we need to come together and support one another. This is true regardless of where we are. My intent in starting this study is to provide a venue for mutual support and encouragement. It reminds me of the men’s Bible study on Saturday morning that we started at our church in Virginia many years ago. It went on the entire time we belonged to that church, and even after we moved away, it was still going on. That is the idea here, to create an on-going study that everyone can look forward to and attend when you are available. Additionally, this blog...
