Behold, the Lamb of God
A Five-Week Lenten Bible Study on Jesus' Atonement for our Sinsby Dr. Ralph F. Wilson
Faith of Abraham (Genesis 11-25)
This five-week study will begin on Saturday, and will be delivered each Saturday for the next five weeks via e-mail, with questions sent Sunday through Thursday to keep you thinking about the week's lesson (though you can select the "weekly lessons only" option if you like). You'll also have opportunities to interact using our Joyful Heart Bible Study Forum with other participants, to read and respond to their comments on these passages of scripture.
