Adult Christian Education We are to be a students of the Bible. Why? Because of the life transforming power of the Gospel!
Bible knowledge without life application is empty and hollow. The Apostle Paul makes that very clear in his letter to the Colossian church as recorded in Colossians 1:9-12,
"For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light." (NIV)
At Leclaire, we offer a number of Bible study opportunities and ministries. We will encourage you to read, study, and meditate on the Bible yourself and provide you with tools to help you. We offer ongoing opportunities for you to study the Bible in a small group with other Christians. We hope that you will get involved in a small group and together with other believers find the place where "Truth meets life."
"There is nothing like the written word of God for showing you the way to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another-showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God's way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the task God has for us." 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (The Message)
