We are a ministry that focuses on deep, exegetical feeding from the Word of God (i.e. in-depth Bible study!)
This year we are meeting at CARMEL BAPTIST CHURCH on Pineville-Matthews Road in Matthews, NC (google www.carmelbaptist.org)
We meet Monday evenings from 7-9 p.m. all through the School Year, and we are studying the book of Luke through Lent (through Feb of 2011)
NEXT VISITOR NITE: MONDAY DECEMBER 13th!!!
The main themes of the book of Luke we are considering are:
A-AUTHORITY...the authority of Christ as revealed over nature, disease, death, and over life & death, as the Savior of the world.
B- BIG PICTURE of the character of Christ, which is to say--both his humanity, & his divinity
C-The CERTAINTY of the Gospel--we can "know that we know" (See chapter 1:1-4)
D-DIVINE Economy : God's economy (so to speak) is UPSIDE-DOWN in its emphasis on grace & the unlikely or unlovely
E- EVERY STEP of the call to discipleship (as seen in the call modeled to the disciples and then practised by them--sometimes fitfully)
