Course Schedule

This six evening course will equip you to read and understand the Bible for yourself. Unlike some Bible study methods and books, this class starts with what you already know about reading and applies it to reading Scripture, rather than starting with what you don’t know. The class is filled with “lab time” where you will experience the joy of personal discovery in reading the Bible.

After a recent “Reading Scripture” course, Lindsay wrote: “We finished the 6-week course last night, and I am blown away by how much I learned, how insightful the course was, and how FUN it can be to read and enjoy God’s Word. When I began reading the Bible years ago, it was out of duty and obligation. Several years ago, I joined a local Bible Study Fellowship group, and my love for God’s Word grew immensely, but I still wasn’t ‘excited’ about it. After taking this course, I can honestly say that I am EXCITED to read and understand God’s Word.”

This course will meet in person for six Thursday evenings, starting October 16 (Oct 16, 23, 30, Nov 6, 13, 20), meeting from 6:30 until 8:30 pm (EST) each evening. The class is being hosted by 3 Gen Ministries in Greenville, SC, but is open to others to attend.

Although there is no charge for the class, we would like you to register if you would like to attend so that we can plan accordingly. Each attendee will be provided with a course notebook.

“Wow! Did you see what Jesus did? That miracle, that healing . . . it proves that He is God!” Is that all? Is that all we are supposed to understand from the miracles of Jesus recorded for us in the Gospels? That they are proof–demonstrations that He is divine? Or could there possibly be much more there than we typically notice?

When John reported Jesus’ first miracle (in John 2), he wrote that what Jesus did “displayed His glory” and resulted in His followers coming to trust in Him. Apparently, it wasn’t simply about Jesus’ identity as “God come in the flesh.”

In this two-evening intensive, we will look closely at a handful of miracles, selected from the Gospels, and ask the question: “What is Jesus really telling us about Himself by doing this?” When the Gospel writers give us close-up and detailed accounts of Jesus’ healing or miracles, we can be reasonably sure that they want us to understand something more than just that Jesus’ has power or that He is the Messiah. And Jesus wants us to know more about Him from the miracles than just clarity about His identity.

This class will meet online on two Tuesday evenings, October 28 and November 4, at 6:30 pm (EST). We offer classes at no charge, but ask you to register for the class so that we can plan accordingly. You will be sent a link for the class after you have registered.
