The Faithful Way

We are in the Gospels in this Wednesday Night Three-Part Mini-Series entitled:

The Mission Statements of Jesus

In this study we will explore some of the statements Jesus made as to why he

came to earth. It is important we have a clear understanding of Jesusʼ mission

so we can follow him more effectively. Some of Jesusʼ sayings are challenging to

us, others are provocative and controversial, while all of them deserve attention.

Week 1 “The Son of Man came to serve.”

Week 2 “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”

Week 3 “I have come to bring fire to the earth.”

Starting February 13th through February 27th, 2013
