Our next series of Interactive Sabbath Bible Studies in the Twin Cities will
focus on Christ's letters to His seven Churches in the first two chapters
of the book of Revelation.
We will continue our series on Christ's letters to His seven Churches, with
this discussion focusing on the church at Smyrna (Rev 2:8-11).
The questions we will be discussing are:
1. What does Christ's description of Himself reveal about Him, and Smyrna?
Rom 6:5-10, Col 3:1-3, Rev 1:17,18
2. How can one be rich in works while suffering persecution and distress?
Mar 10:17-22, 2Cor 7:4, 1Tim 6:17-19, Rev 3:17
3. Why is enduring tribulation such an important part of the Christian walk?
Act 14:21,22, Rom 5:1-5, Jas 1:2-4, 1Pet 1:3-9
4. Who is a Jew in God's eyes? Who is not?
Mar 7:1-13, Rom 2:28,29, 7:22, 2Cor 4:16-18, Rev 3:9
5. Smyrna is promised a "crown of life" - for what?
1Cor 9:24-27, Jas 1:12, Rev 3:11

Observed on April 12! We have a semi-private room reserved at Mancini's
Char House (531 7th St. W. in St. Paul). The maximum number is 36. We will be
able to order individually from their menu and we can arrive around 7:00 for
drinks and appetizers, so dinner will be closer to sundown. Mancini's website
is www.mancinis.com if you want to check it out or look at the menu. We have
a sign-up sheet on the Hymnal Table in the lobby. If you have any questions, please see Michelle.
Reminder: The meal should occur after sunset (7:55 pm Central Time)
