The Life of Christ

Thursday 10:30 AM

January 26 – May 4, 2023


A Study of God with Us

In this journey of Christ, we will highlight those special events that happened in Galilee, Judea, Samaria

and surrounding areas during his life on earth. We shall trace the footsteps of Jesus as he teaches, heals,

and interacts with those around him - from his disciples who considered him master/rabbi to the Jewish

leaders who came to hold him in contempt. His display of love and kindness reveals to us that God cares

deeply for His creation, and that Jesus’ life and teaching apply to us today. All four gospels will be used

to inform us of his life, death, and resurrection.
