30 Days to Understanding the Bible

30 Days to Understanding the Bible

January 8 – February 12  |  Room A178  |  Cost: $15

Start Your Journey to Master the Bible. The problem most of us have with the Bible is that we started out studying the details without ever getting the big picture. It’s no wonder we’re confused! In the Colorado Rockies, there are so many mountain peaks, nobody could climb them all. But there are 53 peaks that are over 14,000 feet. And many hikers try to climb all 53 fourteeners. That’s what Max Anders does in this Bible study. You’ll look at only the fourteeners — a manageable amount of information. In 30 days, you’ll have a complete understanding of the story of the Bible and the core teachings or doctrines that Christians have held onto throughout the centuries, presented in bite-sized pieces. After you have mastered the fourteeners, you will have the basic information you need for hiking the smaller peaks. Teaching: Daniel Tillbury
