Lessons From The Great … And Not So Great Men And Women of The Bible

A life lived well can inspire people for generations to come, an 'inspired' life lived well, and recorded for future generations, can change lives throughout the rest of time. The wrenching failures and grace-filled successes of many of the memorable people of the Bible have wisdom and relevance for us today that is still unmatched in literature and the historical record of mankind.
Scott Downs will unfold the lives of numerous biblical figures such as Abraham, Saul, Samuel, Moses, Joshua, Sara, Esther, David, Peter, Mary and others. The insights Scott draws from their lives will amaze you as to the relevancy of their life story to your own: Family life, work life, spiritual life, leisure, struggles with lack of faith, confrontations with difficulties beyond our control, relationships gone awry, relationships restored, handling great wealth and responsibility, handling great loss and humility. It's all there in the scriptures, brought out in living color through the lives of ordinary men and women who encountered an extraordinary relationship with God.
If all goes as planned, the culmination of this class will be a trip to the Holy Land to see first hand the locations where these great lives were lived.
