Families of the Bible


Families of the Bible

A New Sunday Morning Bible Study
 

Isn’t it extraordinary that God describes Himself in family terms, as a Father and a Son? Or maybe it’s the other way around – that God’s wonderful design for our lives is derived from His holy identity? Isn’t it extraordinary that the Savior came into our world just as we did – born wet and naked, defenseless, scared, and hungry – and that His first needs were met by … a mother and stepfather?

God has created us to have relationships. With Him. And with each other.

You are invited to a new Sunday morning Bible study about these familial relationships entitled, “Families Rooted in Grace.” We will explore familiar biblical family relationships – from Adam and Eve to Mary and her son, Jesus – and the challenges those families faced. Each lesson extracts Scripture truths from a biblical family circumstance and applies them to contemporary family life. The topics covered in Families of the Bible will likely apply to every family at some time.
