Reading Isaiah From a 21^st Century Perspective

 

          This summer the Wednesday Morning Bible Study Group will be focused on six of the magnificent spiritual poems preserved for us in the Book of Isaiah.  In addition to exploring the historical context in which these poems were composed, the group will also be discussing their relationship to the teachings of Jesus found in the four Gospels.  You are invited to join the discussion every Wednesday morning at 10:30am.
