RAY VANDER LAAN STUDY
Discipleship was formalized with the rise of rabbis in Jewish culture, but the concept really started much earlier than that. This idea of knowing God’s path and faithfully walking in it began when He called Israel out of Egypt, setting them apart as a kingdom of priests to show the rest of the world what He was like. Building on the tools and central themes from the first season, Season 2 of The Study explores the roots of discipleship, examining how God trained and established the nation of Israel in preparation for Jesus’ ministry to come. Join Sawyer Sasker and Corey Van Essen as they facilitate this adult class on Sundays at 11 AM, March 2—May 11 in the Fellowship Hall. Sign up at the table in the Lobby to reserve a participant book.
