New YBL Bible Study Opportunities

I want to make you aware of some new bible study opportunities YBL is offering that you may want to participate in.

Concentrating on the Majors (COM)
The COM study gives a thorough understanding of the essentials of the Christian life. This study is a great place to begin learning the bible and what it means to be a Christian. It provides the basic building blocks that are vital to successful Christian living at home and in the marketplace. It is for those who want to learn or review a basic introduction to the Bible and its most essential truths. The COM study involves 6-8 people and usually goes for several weeks. We will offer two time options for this study, one at breakfast and one at lunch. The study will be held at the YBL office, which is located at 618 Briarwood Drive (Suite A), and it will begin sometime within the next few weeks. Contact the YBL office for more information.

Downtown Study
Beginning Tuesday, May 25, 2010, YBL will be offering a study in downtown Jackson, MS at Watkins and Young offices, 300 W. Capitol. This study will involve about 8 men, will meet over lunch and will center around the book The Measure of a Man which is a study of the qualifications for spiritual leadership in the bible. Men will gain encouragement for what they can be in Christ - as fathers, husbands, and mentors to other men. Contact the YBL office, Jim Young 601-354-3660, of Dallas Baker 601-953-7146 for more information.

Grace Walk Study
Beginning Tuesday, June 1, this study will involve 8-10 men and will meet at Mars and Steel, 4854 I-55 N., near Jacksonian Plaza. Grace Walk has helped thousands of believers leave behind the "manic-depressive" Christian walk: either running around trying to perform to be acceptable to God or thinking they've failed Him again and wondering if they'll ever measure up. Living the grace walk gets you off this religious roller coaster! Contact the YBL office or Victor Smith 601-932-2223 for more information.

Other Opportunities

Accountability Groups
There are over 12 different YBL accountability/discipleship bible studies meeting all over the Jackson metro area from Clinton to North Jackson to Madison. These groups involve 5-7 men and are designed to provide spiritual encouragement, accountability and regular study of God's word. Contact the YBL office for more information.

Investigative Study
Our three week Investigative study on the person of Christ deals with questions such as "Is the Bible valid?" "What is a Christian Philosophy?" and "How can I find real purpose and meaning in life?" It is for those who want to know how to begin to walk with God. This study usually involves two or three other people, last three weeks, and the times and places are flexible. Contact the YBL office for more information.
I hope you will be able to take advantage of one of these great opportunities to strengthen your walk with God.
