2014 Summer Season Bible Study

Beginning June 15, 2014 Teresa Schlobohm will be leading a Bible Study on the Book of Ephesians.  The sessions will begin at 9:00 AM and run for about 45 minutes.  The sessions are expected to take seven weeks to complete.

On August 3, 2014, Bob Hardcastle is scheduled to begin a new study on the Book of Philippians and this study will cover about six (6) weeks, completing on September 7, 2014.  

Beginning September 14, 2014, Terry Pursley will begin a season long Bible Study of Moses concentrating primarily on the Book of Exodus.

All studies are scheduled to be held in the Koinonia Room of Duff Hall and will be self-sufficient, meaning it will not be necessary to attend all sessions to have a meaningful experience.  In other words, the sessions are planned to be "vacation friendly".

These multiple sessions are designed around reading the Scriptures and hearing what the Word of God says about our relations with God.  The goal is to allow each person the opportunity to hear what God says to them so they may apply the lessons to their individual lives.

Please consider joining us for as many of these studies as you can.

Here are the questions for the Koinonia Class to be conducted on October 7, 2012.

1.  Compare the creation story of Genesis Chapter 1 with Genesis Chapter 2 verses 1 thru 6.  How do you reconcile these two variations of the creation story?

2.  How does God create man in Genesis Chapter 2 verse 7, and how does this passage compare to Chapter 1 verse 27?  Taken together, what do these passages tell you about God's creation of humans?

3.  What are the names of the two (2) major trees God provided in the Garden and what did God instruct Adam about how he should use the fruit of these two trees?

4.  From Chapter 2 verse 18, why did God create woman and how was she valued by God"?

5.  Under the assumption the two trees of Genesis are symbols for our life today, what represents, in today's world, the Tree of Life" and the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil" in your life?

Teresa will be leading the class this Sunday so please come prepared to support her.

We had a very excellent Koinonia Sunday School today as we read and discussed Chapter 1 of the book of Genesis.  We talked about what God actually created first and then covered the various creation techniques God used as identified in Chapter 1.  Most everyone of our 18 member class had something to offer.  Next week (9/30/12) we will stay with Chapter 1 and address the following additional questions.

1.  What does the term "Light" (in verse 3-5) mean to you?
2.  What is the difference between the "Light" of the "First Day" and the "Light" of the "Fourth Day"?
3.  How does God give shape and order to the formless earth?
4.  In your own words, and per the Chapter 1 wording, explain how God fills the empty heaven and earth.
5.  List the characteristics of humans creation from Genesis 1:26-28.
6. What provisions did God give humans?
7.  What provisions has God given to you?
8.  How has Genesis Chapter 1 encouraged you?

We hope to see you in class and as always I hope you -

Have a Great Day and Enjoy Life!
