Bible Study Hour
Start @ 9:00 am
Introduction
Jefferson Avenue Baptist Church holds We believe the Bible to be God’s infallible, inerrant, Holy Word to man. We believe it to be authoritative on any and all issues it touches, including history, science and the cosmos, to the extent to which it speaks. We believe the Bible to be the source of absolute truth whereby our beliefs, morals, and laws should be based. This means that on both a corporate and personal level, when we see a difference between our thinking, attitudes, or actions and God’s Word, we must change to be obedient to God. Each Sunday, we gather to engage in thoughtful discussions on what the Bible teaches through Bible studies and literature related to matters of faith. This is an opportunity to connect with others and grow spiritually. Unlike the worship service, these sessions offer a more interactive environment, allowing a more profound experience with believers for the Glory of God.

More Details
The Bible study session begins at 9:00 am. During this time, our attention is centered on a specific book or subject within the Bible. Our purpose in studying the scriptures is to enhance our understanding and relationship with God and others. The goal is to cultivate both our intellect and our emotions, enabling us to glorify God.
“that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”
— Ephesians 3:16-19
