January Bible Study 2010
Study the Kingdom of God Parables in Matthew
The 2010 January Bible Study will lead adults to have a better understanding of the kingdom of God as well as of the parables in the Gospel of Matthew that focus on the kingdom. In addition, the study will show adults how to enter and live in the kingdom as well as how to await its consummation.
With four sessions, the JBS 2010 study is versatile. Hold your JBS during a dedicated week (Sun. - Wed.) or use on consecutive Sunday or Wednesday nights for two weeks.
And while many churches do begin the New Year with January Bible Study, Stories for Life: Parables of the Kingdom in Matthew is applicable and useful any time of the year. Order your JBS resources online now.
