Lessons From The New Testament Writers: A Study on the Writings of James, Paul, Peter, John, and Jude
Teacher: Jeremy Griggs | Wednesdays, 6–7p | RM 104-105 |
Join us for a detailed Bible study through the writings of James, Paul, Peter, John, and Jude. These letters take us into the heart of the early church as it wrestled with real challenges—false teaching, persecution, division, and the everyday struggle to live out genuine faith. Through James’s call to faith that works, Paul’s gospel-centered instruction for the church, Peter’s hope for those suffering under pressure, John’s emphasis on love and truth, and Jude’s urgent charge to guard the faith once delivered to the saints, we see God’s Word meeting His people in the middle of real life. This study will challenge us to live our faith out loud, hold firmly to sound doctrine, and love one another well in a world that often pulls us toward compromise. This is an open Bible study and you can join at any time.
