Bible Study Series 📜✏️

The Bible Study Series category covers a range of possibilities.  It might be a series based on an important passage.  Maybe a chapter from one book, or even the entire book.  It will also be a theme that will cover several books.  

Any individual Bible study series may be a mix of inductive, topical, and application type studies.

They will always be reflective in nature.  After all, my goal is not to tell you what to believe, but rather to encourage you to know why you believe what you believe.

Bible Study brings God’s light to our lives.

The Bible Study Series invites readers into a deeper relationship with God through Scripture, reflection, and community. Each post is designed to illuminate spiritual truths and offer practical encouragement.

The first new category is Revelation: A book of hope through relationship, which is in progress now.

At the same time, another Revelation series is being migrated from my old site: Seven Letter to the Seven Churches.  This one has additional background information on the churches including history, culture, and language.  It will add to the understanding of how and why the hope is present, even in the midst of what’s happening there to prompt these letters.

AN AI image from Revelation 1, the prologue and greeting. It's a combination of Jesus, visible in Heaven with faces in the clouds that may be the elders. On earth, we wee two old men and a younger man. It's so surreal. But then, how could any person really describe something like they've never seen before?
