WEEKLY BIBLE STUDY: THIS IS NOT SUNDAY SCHOOL

Every week since September 2021, there has been a new Bible study article that Pastor Brett writes so that you can learn more about the Bible.  As the Bible encourages us, "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved by him, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15).  Go to: https://thisisnotsundayschool.blogspot.com/ for recent articles.  Older articles are in the Spiritual Resource Center or call the church office to have a copy sent to you.
