University of Life in March

During the month of March, University of Life will explore four prominent cities of the Holy Land and the events that happened in these communities. The studies will be done in combination with a 30 minute DVD, Bible readings, and discussions. These four very interesting DVDs of Holy Land cities were a special release from Day of Discovery and will eventually find their way to our Church Library.

University of Life meets in Swain Hall promptly at 1:30 PM on Thursday. Guests are always welcome.

• March 5th we begin with Hebron, The City of Promise, presently known as Al Khalil. The city was originally called Arba, meaning four, because of its location amid four hills. Abraham believed that Hebron might possibly be the promised "Land of Milk and Honey."

• March 12th we continue on to the city of Beersheba, A Place of Surrender, the home of Abraham and Isaac. What circumstances made Beersheba such an important community in the book of Genesis?

• March 19th we travel to Jerusalem, The City of David, the old and the new. This DVD is a thrilling journey into the unpeeling of the centuries happening now beneath the city of present day Jerusalem, we will see and tour these amazing excavations.

• March 26th we visit Capernaum, The City of Skeptics, located on the north shore of the Sea of Galilee. Capernaum was Jesus' home-town and also fot four of His disciples. Jesus is believed to have performed more miracles in Capernaum than anywhere and yet the citizens rejected Him as their Messiah.
