Jeremiah, the longest book in the Bible, is a combination of prose and poetry, sermon and biography, messages from God and prayers from Jeremiah. No other book gives us more insight into the life and thoughts of God’s messenger, who describes himself as a “lamb led to the slaughter” (11:19).

Learning to be Like Christ

Third Quarter 2023 Sunday Morning in Adult Classroom
Class Teacher is Jeff Dutra.
Class Title is "Learning to be Like Christ".

Consistent with our 2023 theme, “being salt and light to the world”, this study will explore our Lord and Savior, Jesus as the perfect example of being salt and light. The discussion-rich class will investigate various attributes of Jesus in the Bible in an attempt to better understand him and apply His example to our lives. Each class has value as a stand-alone lesson; however, building a more complete picture of Jesus will require consistent participation. 1 Peter 2:21 says “For this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example so that you might follow in his steps”.
