CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. - 青瓜视频's School of Theology is hosting its annual January Bible Study beginning Jan. 8 through Feb. 5, 2023.
The January Bible Study will explore Paul's Letter to the Ephesians, according to Dr. John Hurtgen, the school's dean.
鈥淭his letter written from a prison also happens to be Paul's most spiritual letter,鈥� Hurtgen said. 鈥淔rom beginning to end, believers will not only be confronted with their identity in Christ as adopted and redeemed for God's own special purposes in the world but also instructions for the spiritual war and promises for the spiritual victory that those in Christ have been given.鈥�
Hurtgen, who also serves as pastor of Mt. Gilboa Baptist Church in Taylor County, is leading the study, which is being held at Good Hope Baptist Church, 8320 Saloma Road, Campbellsville.
Three churches have partnered for the study: Mt. Gilboa Baptist Church, Good Hope Baptist Church (pastor, Gerald Murphy) and Mt. Washington Baptist Church (pastor, Jimmy York). All are invited to attend.
Sessions are held on Sundays from 5 p.m. to 6:15 p.m.

Week 1 (Jan. 8): 鈥淚ntroduction鈥� (Eph. 1:1-2) and 鈥淥ne Long Sentence About the Blessed God Who Blesses鈥� (Eph. 1:3-14)
