Like Jonah, God may divinely interrupt the flow of your life. How you respond will have eternal consequences for yourself and others. This study is about knowing and following God’s direction for you, even when it unexpectedly changes. If you are currently off-track from God’s purpose for your life, you will learn how to get back on-track through humble obedience. Your life story will have eternal significance as you faithfully choose to obey God’s leading! The principles that applied to Jonah also apply to us.

Purchase of Priscilla Shirer’s workbook is needed and can be purchased at Connections.

Have you ever wanted to read through the Bible in a year? Did you find that you lacked fellowship and encouragement from others along the way? This is a fascinating way to read through the Bible in one year, and interact with others who are reading it right along with you!

The Chronological Bible arranges the entire Biblical text—books, chapters, and even verses—in the order the events occurred. You will be blessed by God’s revelation as you develop the personal discipline to be in His Word regularly.

You will need to purchase a Chronological Bible if you plan to join this gathering.
