Sunday Morning Adult Bible Study

Words unfamiliar to most Americans are now heard daily on the evening news: jihad, Islam, Allah, Quran, fatwa, imam, ummah, Ramadan. Today, Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world, with more than 13,000 mosques in North America alone.

Now that Muslims are our neighbors, how do we talk to them about Christ? What do Muslims think about Jesus? Which beliefs do we share in common with Muslims and where do we differ from them? Do we worship the same God they worship? Is the Father of Jesus the God of Muhammad?

This study, based on the best-selling book, “Is the Father of Jesus the God of Muhammad” by Dr. Timothy George,  avoids the angry condemnation of all Muslims on the one hand, or a compromising of Christian truth-claims on the other. Muslim views are stated fairly and objectively from Muslim scholars who appear in the series. The programs set forth basic and foundational differences between Christianity and Islam and the implications for how we understand God, Christ, and the meaning of salvation.

The DVD based series contains the following topics: 1. The Tenets of Islam; 2. The Trinity; 3. The Bible and the Incarnation and 4. The Cross and Salvation.

Please join us on Sunday morning as we study and learn more about our faith in Christ and what that means.
