Companions for Christ
Believing Jesus by Lisa Harper
What does it mean to believe Jesus? Not just believe in Jesus, but actually believe what He said-and shape our lives around the truth? How would that affect the choices we make? The way we see the world? The way we conduct ourselves with other Christians?
In this 8 session study, Lisa Harper answers these questions by looking at the lives of the believers in Acts and how Jesus’ command to spread the gospel forever shaped their lives.
Dates: Wednesdays, starting January 22
Time: 10-11:15 AM
COST: $20
Leader: Stacy Loeffler, stacy@rclsales.com a
