Over these next several months, we invite you to participate in a continuation of our weekly Wednesday Local Group studies. Groups are meeting in person at the Dave Haas residence, and via Zoom (hosted by Doug Kieffer) for those preferring not to travel midweek. Zoom credentials below. Please note that the study will break for the month of August to allow more flexibility for summer schedules and travel plans.

It is important that we, as a body of believers, are clear as to the Person of Jesus Christ – His eternal existence, His divinity, His humanity, His power, His Gospel – in short, everything He taught about Himself by saying, seven times over, “I Am…”

In this study, we will tackle the second half of the Gospel of John, which focuses on the private rather than public ministry of Christ, followed by His death and resurrection. May the Holy Spirit minister to our hearts the truths of Scripture, such that we too say, “I believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and by believing, I have life in His Name!”
