It took about 300 years for the leaders of
the early church to formally wrestle with a
question causing wide-spread disputes: "Who
Was Jesus?" The age of the Apostles had
passed. No one was left who physically had
met Jesus of Nazareth.
Was he a man who embodied the Spirit
of God? Was he the pre-existent "Word" the
Gospel of John mentions; the "Word" that was
in the beginning with God? What does it mean
to say "Jesus is the Son of God?"
How do you view Jesus: human, divine,
or a combination of the two?
It all came to a head in the 4th century
of the Common Era. Our Bible Study class will
explore that discussion (debate) on Sunday at
9:30 a.m. Come, join us.
There is a sign-up sheet on the church
bulletin board, or you can call Alice Jane at
918-299-0699.
With the weather being so unpredict-
able, there is another number to call (918-280-
7125) a few days in advance to see if construc-
tion will be underway that weekend.
