When the Time Fully Comes: A Biblical View of Time ⏳✝️

Ever feel rushed by the clock or wonder about God’s timing in your life? Join us as we explore how the God who exists beyond time entered into our world, created its rhythms, and uses time to fulfill His promises and proclaim the Gospel.

In this lesson, we’ll look at Scripture to discover:
🔹 How creation set the clock for nature and history
🔹 How God uses specific times for judgment, patience, and promise
🔹 Why God’s view of time is vastly different from ours
🔹 Practical ways a biblical view of time changes how we live today

Come dig into God's Word with us! Bring your Bible and a friend.

🗓️ When: Tomorrow, October 7th, at 4:00 PM

📍 Where: Fellowship Hall, Open Bible Lutheran Church

"God will bring about [the appearing of our Lord Christ] in his own time." — 1 Timothy 6:14-15

Lesson 8: The Holy Christian Church ⛪✨

What does it really mean to be part of the Church? It’s far more than a building or a weekly routine—we are one body in Christ, united in faith across every background, age, and walk of life!

🔹 What defines the Church (and where to find it)
🔹 Our calling to grow, serve, and share the Gospel together
🔹 What to look for in a faithful, Christ-centered church
🔹 How God protects His people through times of trial

Whether you’ve been with us for every lesson or this is your first time, there’s a seat saved for you!

🗓️ When: This Thursday, October 8th, at 4:00pm
📍 Where: Open Bible Fellowship Hall
