Course Leader: Mark Hamilton
Jesus in the Gospels is produced by DISCIPLE but has no prerequisite to attend. This study invites believers to look at Jesus in each of the four Gospels and ask the questions, “Who is the Jesus that you see?” and “Who is the Jesus you take with you from this study?” The study focuses on the portraits of Jesus found in the four Gospels looking at the way each Gospel writer presents events and teachings and the picture of Jesus that emerges in each of the Gospels.

Cost: $15.00
When: TBD
