Men’s Bible Study – A Study of Job
August 15 - November 21, 3rd Floor - Room 303B

The history of mankind is defined not just by national triumphs, but by the suffering of people groups and individuals. Our history is also marked by the efforts of mankind to look beyond the immediate to a future hope. The book of Job places the question of suffering into the life of one man, and causes us, centuries later, to consider how we would respond to calamity. Join us as we study this profound and, ultimately, edifying book.
