Topic 1- Revelation

Revelation -- God unveiled Himself to us how?

College group - we're starting new material tomorrow - in-depth theology discussions with Phil and Mike - 9 AM sharp. David Deaton

Introduction

Introduction                                                  

TruthQuest is a learning system that encourages a learning community rather than a lecture/listen format. We are seeking to grow deeper in knowledge and understanding of the Scripture and to apply those Scriptures to our lives in the present. To that end we will spend time at the end of each session working on how the Scriptures actually work themselves into the fabric of our lives.

Each session will have a topic and we encourage everyone to scour the Scriptures to inform the group about the topic. The goal is actually becoming good, life-long learners, rather than having every bit of minutia nailed down. There are also many who have studied and written down their understanding on these theological topics.  We recommend learning from those who have gone before as well.  You might want to pick up one or two of these resources to aid your learning. (see below)
