Romans Bible Study at 7 AM for Youth & Adults

by with No Comment News

Gratia members are studying Romans every morning at 7 am (Pacific Time).  It is a time for youth and adults to dive deep into the Word of God.  

For example, on July 22, Pastor Walker shared Romans 1:24-27, where it says God gave depraved mankind over to their sinful desires:

“We misunderstand God’s rules and commandments as restricting our freedom, but in actuality, those are what gives us true freedom. Athletes train hard with discipline in order to “free” their potential to be elite sports stars. In the same way, God’s rules, commandments, faith discipline are there to give us the freedom to live by the Holy Spirit and not in sin.”

The Bible Study gives plenty of time for Q&A to ask questions freely and meditate on the Word of God deeply.  Since the Bible Study is at 7 AM, it also wakes us up to be refreshed in God’s Word daily.  Everyone is welcomed to join Monday through Friday at 7 AM, onsite and online via Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/7247612612

Wednesday Bible Study – God’s Compassion on the Story of Jonah

by with No Comment News

Gratia church held graceful Wednesday Bible study on July 15 , 2020. Pastor Julia shared the book of Jonah and members spend the time of sharing and prayer afterward.

“We have our cold judgment and self-righteousness that is different than God’s. Throughout the whole story of Jonah, we can see God’s compassionate heart toward the sinners who cannot tell their right hand from their left. Without having this compassionate heart, we will not able to share the love of God. We are indifferent to people or ignore the heart of God by not sharing the message to the people who are going toward the eternal hell. The one who received salvation gained eternal life by grace but at the same time we are obligated to share the salvation to the people who are next to us.” shared Pastor Julia. 

Wednesday Bible Studies are held online and onsite at 6 PM via Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/7247612612

There is a big Catholic church in the middle of the campus and students come to pray even for a short time.
