NPBC Afternoon Bible Study will continue through Wednesday, May 29th. The next Bible Study will be a seven-session series from the book of Philippians, “The Journey Home.” The Christian life is a journey. It’s a journey in which we really don’t know where we’re going. We’ve never been that way before. It’s long, it takes endurance, we have to trust our guide. But God has called us to a journey, and in the book of Philippians we will see this very clearly. Paul likens it to running a race. That he counted his life worth nothing to him if only that he might finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus had given Him, the task of testifying to the Gospel of God’s grace. Call-In will be available every Wednesday morning starting at 11:50 a.m. (Dial 848-220-3300. Access code 7266492#)
