Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Mondays | 6:50-8:30 pm
BSF members spend time in personal bible study during the week with questions that prompt deeper thought. Once a week they meet for small group discussion
This year’s study, Exile and Return, invites you on a powerful journey through the Old Testament, where God’s people were called to build His kingdom in a foreign land. Their story is our story—we, too, are strangers in a broken world, called to build for His glory. As we explore how God equips and positions His people, we’re challenged to ask: Am I building my life for Christ? Exile and Return reminds us that our time to build is now. Books included in this year’s study: Ezekiel, Daniel, Ezra, Esther, Haggai, Zechariah, Nehemiah, and Malachi.
Join us on Monday evenings or find other class days and times, by going to joinbsf.com.
