.Life of Christ: The Miracles
The miracles of Christ will be examined in chronological order. From turning water into wine to
a great catch of fish after his resurrection. Material will be presented online and reviewed in class
at the church building. We will take the miracles as they are recorded in scripture to be true and
accurate even though they may defy logical explanation. Yet by looking at these miracles, our
faith in Jesus can be strengthened and remind us of how great our God is. Each week in class we
will also review one of Christ’s teachings as found in his parables as well as his life events. We
will avoid complicated theories or approaches. We will be concerned with four questions.
1. What does it say
2. What does it mean (in general)
3. What did it mean to the people that were there
4. What does it mean to us
Dates: September 7 – December 14. Study will continue in Spring of 2024
