Knowing Scripture
OVERVIEW
The purpose of this 8 week study is to help you know how to study the Bible properly. Class will be held on Sundays from 9:00-9:45am at DVMS. Childcare will be provided. We will be going through a book entitled, “Knowing Scripture” by R.C. Sproul. You can order the book online or pick one up at the back table on Sunday. It would be best if you could read before coming to class, but I will teach in such a way that those who weren’t able to read will still glean from the lesson.
