Finger of God

 

The 4:30 pm Oasis Bible Study was an enjoyable success thanks to the Mayberry Bible Study, and a devoted group who met each week for (in depth) discussion.

 

Our winter and spring study will likewise be video based, only this time it will not be the fictitious antics of Barney, Andy, and Aunt Bea, but will be the real life antics of God.  Finger of God began as an investigative documentary that sought to answer the question: Is the God of the Bible still doing biblical works today?   Through this study, participants will see real life miracles, learn kingdom theology from some of the best teachers around; teachers such as Bill Johnson, Randy Clark, and others.  The study will also encourage each and every person to let God be just a bit bigger and more adventurous in their daily life.

 

Class will again meet in the Adult Christian Education building at 4:30 pm.  Bring a Bible.  We will wrap up each week just in time to place you at the head of the Oasis food line . . . a very yummy place to be!

 

Look elsewhere in the newsletter for the official start date of Oasis in January.  That will be the kick off of Finger of God.  New group members always welcome.  Hope to see you!
