Understand Jesus More Deeply by Studying First-Century History and Culture. Imagine walking the dusty roads of Galilee with Jesus of Nazareth—braving jostling crowds just to touch the edge of His cloak and hear Him say, "Take heart, daughter, your faith has healed you." Those words, once meant to comfort a hurting woman’s soul thousands of years ago, were also meant for you. Join biblical culturalist Kristi McLelland on those dusty roads as she transports you back to Jesus' world, stepping into the footsteps of the women who came face to face with the living God. Over 7 sessions, examine the historical and cultural climate of first-century Middle Eastern society to not only understand Jesus more deeply but to fuel your worship of Him today. The study will be held on Wednesdays, October 1 through November 19, from 9:30 to 11:30 am in Yellow 3. The 19th will be a fellowship day. We begin at 9:30am with snacks and start our study promptly at 10:00am. Signup will be held on the weekends of September 13-14 and 20-21 in the Gathering Space.
