Current Study: “Justified by Grace, a Study on Paul’s letter to the Romans”
Our class is open to anyone who enjoys a deeper look at the Word. We don't pre-read, we read in class, and we discuss the overall context of the Word. We dive into the meaning behind Paul's theology, what was happening in the modern world at this time, and how the words still mean something to us today. Daniel Oates leads the class and if you have questions you can email him at danieljoates@yahoo.com. Please join us in our Bible study journey!

In this volume of the New Daily Study Bible, the reader meets many of the picturesque images that are popularly identified with Revelation - the four horses and their riders, the antichrist, the woman clothed with the sun, the beast with his number, and Armageddon.
