THE WORD FOR ALL AGES
Prayer Room | Dorene Royal
DO YOU LOVE TO TRAVEL? Tour with us (virtually) as we travel almost 10,000 miles and visit 50+ cities (and even take a Mediterranean cruise!) with the Apostle Paul on his multiple journeys from Jerusalem to Rome. View on-screen the cities he visited as they appear both now and then. Re-live his adventures, miracles, messages, mishaps, and what the Holy Spirit’s unction can do as we study the life of this former "killer of Christians." And…all without leaving your comfortable seat! Can you swim? You will be shipwrecked. Beaten. Starved. Betrayed. Imprisoned. Even bitten by a viper. Follow a man with the zeal to devote his life to the one thing he sought to destroy…Christianity. And perhaps that zeal will be catching?

Join us each week for exciting topics and subjects, lively discussions, group participation, and a powerful prayer time with great people. Our goal and desire is to help you discover God's direction for your life! All adult ages welcome.

If you think Bible study is tedious, we invite you to visit us and find out how relevant and exciting God's Word is. All ages welcome.

SCRIPTURAL ENRICHMENT

This class offers in-depth Bible instruction from a former SEU professor, everyday life application, and creative discussion.
