We want to help you study God's Word for yourself!
Psalm 1 speaks of the man who is blessed because of his delight in the law of the Lord in which he meditates day and night. Vital to such a life is the ability to accurately understand the teaching of the Bible through our personal study.
Grasping God's Word consists of two ten week sessions designed to help equip you with skills to study the Bible for yourself. Combining reading, discussion and exercises to help put into practice the skills that are learned, participants will come away from this study with a practical manual for lifelong study of the Scriptures.
The class is offered during the fall and spring.
