Adult Bible Class -- "Bible Symbols"

We will be resuming our series entitled, “Bible Symbols” on Wednesdays at 7:00 PM.

EDIT:  While a companion book is mentioned, it is not necessary for the class.  You will have no problems following along if you don't have the book!

While the Bible is written in clear language, it sometimes uses symbolism to reveal God's word to us.  Such symbolism, while it can be confusing, also serves to illustrate God's mercy and salvation to us.  In order to gain a deeper understanding of God's mercy and salvation, it serves us well to be familiar with the Bible's symbolism and word pictures.

This class will be done on the website Zoom, and there will be sheets emailed to you in advance.  In order to make sure you receive the study guides and to get the password for the Zoom sessions, you will need to register for this class at welsnovi@aol.com .  If you do not register, you will not receive the meeting ID# or the password needed to join the class on Zoom.  Even if you will attend only occasionally, please register.  I am also hoping to record these sessions so that they will be available on demand.

If you happen to have the book, God's Imagery, you can refer to that for each class period.  The chapters that correspond to each session are below.  Although it is not crucial to have for the class, reading the chapter which corresponds to the upcoming class may foster more discussion for the class.  You can order your own copy ($17.99 plus s/h) through Northwestern Publishing House at https://online.nph.net/gods-imagery.html
