Overview
Study for 2011 – 2012
Begins 13th September 2011
HebrewsÂ
Hebrews explains why Christ came to the earth as a man, the meaning of His sacrifice for sin, angels, prayer, tithing, the Sabbath, the New Covenant, the Unpardonable Sin, Faith, Trials and Persecution, Marriage, etc. Above all, Hebrews lets us see Jesus, as He is now, our High Priest who makes intercession for us today.
Philippians
The book of Philippians shares the secret of joy – a life that is centered on Jesus Christ. His joy frees us from worry, carries us through hardship and suffering, and opens our hearts to love and service to others.
Ephesians
Paul intended that all who long for Christ-like maturity would receive this writing. Enclosed within the Book of Ephesians is the discipline needed to develop into true children of God. Furthermore, a study in Ephesians will help to fortify and to establish the believer so he can fulfill the purpose and calling God has given. The aim of this epistle is to confirm and to equip a maturing church. It presents a balanced view of the body of Christ and its importance in God’s economy.
