The Heidelberg Catechism - The Foundations Of Our Faith

Hi folks Here is the last study in this series by Chuck Swindoll that we are studying with Zwingly.  Is there something in particular you would like to study in this coming season. Please bring your suggestions on Sunday. Every Blessing Steve   W e're near the end of our study of very significant "nobodies." My desire in this book is the same as in my life: to finish well. So, I've chosen to end with Uzziah, a remarkable man for a lot of reasons. My purpose will become more evident as his story unfolds. Uzziah was born during a tumultuous period in the history of the Hebrew people. One hundred years prior to Uzziah's reign, the foolishness of Rehoboam (remember him?) had torn the kingdom into two bitter enemies: Israel in the north and Judah in the south. In the century that followed, the nations routinely warred against one another, as progressively evil kings occupied their thrones and dominated their people. Israel's kings were all reprobate, violent pagans...

Hi folks Here is the bible study for our Growth Group this Sunday. Every Blessing Zwingly and Steve     G reed is a disease that will consume a minister from the inside out if it's not detected early and treated aggressively. And greedy people will do the same to a thriving ministry. That's because greed is everything that ministry is not. Ministry serves others; greed serves self.
