Refine AM Bible Study
Wednesdays, 9:30 – 11:30am September 11, 2024 - April 30, 2025
"So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, "You are a God who sees me for she said, "Truly here I have seen him who looks after me." Genesis 16:13. Hagar encountered a God who took personal interest in her affairs and proved to be the only One who was able to meet her need. Who is this God who sees? How does He reveal Himself to us? Who does He say He is? Why does it matter? Join us this year as our study guides us through the attributes of God. Observe how He interacts with His creation in the events of history and in the lives of His people. Join us as we gaze upon the God who sees us.
The Refine AM Bible study includes teaching, table discussion, prayer time and either a testimony, historical biography, or helpful tools to grow in your walk with the Lord.
