TEACHING SERIES— Q & A

How Do I Know...? Learn to Defend the Truths of God

Today: ...God Created the World? This message will help Christians see evidence supporting creation that

opposes atheistic evolution. If God created the world, then He rules, and we

are obligated to obey Him. If God did not create the world, then the God of

the Bible is myth, and we are wasting our time seeking and praying to Him.

April 25: ...The Bible Is Reliable?

May 2: ...When Life Begins?

May 9: ...That I Matter?

May 16: ...God’s Plan for Sexuality?

Welcome, Members and Guests!

Thank you for worshiping with us today. This bulletin is your guide to events that will introduce you to Christ and enable you to grow in your faith, which all of us are commanded to do. Please sign up for events and information, using your friendship card, which you will

find as an insert, and drop it into the offering plate as it is passed. We want to be able to serve you better.

WELCOME!
