Saturday Scripture Study with Bibi: Comprehensive Review

Hello, everyone! Thank you for joining me again for Saturday Scripture Study. During this particular study series we have been discussing the parables of Jesus. He used parables as part of his teaching lessons. These parables contain powerful messages that are just beneath the surface of the story; which in turn motivate us to dig deeper, and learn how to better walk with Christ, Our Lord.

We have arrived at Week Thirteen and the conclusion of our series. I have provided a comprehensive review of the entire Bible study series. The questions that follow will challenge you to return to the Bible studies* in order to answer them. It is my hope that by doing so, this review will further anchor the information, not only in your mind, but in your heart as well.

Before we begin, let's pray together: God, you have made the heavens and the earth. You have revealed your beauty in creation and inspired the book that we are now about to study. Please help us now as we read together. Take us deeper into understanding more about you and your love for us. Amen.

*The complete Bible study series can be found here on the Coffeehouse Bible Ministry blogsite.
