Precept Upon Precept - Spring Semester
Women’s Precept Upon Precept is an in-depth, inductive Bible study. For the Spring 2022 semester, we'll be continuing through the Book of Genesis. Genesis holds the key to understanding the origin of sin and evil, the righteousness of God's judgment, and the mercy of God's plan for the redemption of mankind.  It is our hope that through this study, we will gain a more complete understanding of our own purpose and how to live it out. This is a great time to be together and we hope you’ll join us!

Our kids have now heard three Bible stories about how sin changed everything. This week through Genesis 10-11 they will be taught that people wanted glory for themselves instead of God. The people ignored God’s plan, so God confused their language and scattered them all over the earth. But as we all know, one day, Jesus will gather together all of his people, from every tribe and language, and we will worship him together. Pray that our kids will understand that God offers forgiveness through Jesus to all rebellious sinners if they seek him with all their heart.
