Henderson Blvd. church of Christ Summer Series 2023:
HELP ME UNDERSTAND...

40 TOPICS – Questions and concerns our friends, neighbors, and relatives have about God and the Bible

20 SPEAKERS – Two each evening

10 SESSIONS  June 1 through August 3, Thursday nights, 7-8:30pm

4 Topics covered in each evening’s sessionfollowed by a Q&A period

1 Theme – “Help me understand…..”

 

Questions, doubts, and confusion come at us from those we interact with at work, at school, in the neighborhood, on the phone or internet, and at family gatherings.

How do we respond to those, in usually a short period of time, and with limited preparation?

This summer, we’ll tackle this challenge, with men of God who are taking on 4 of these issues per night, in 15-minute increments. Short, but powerful answers to the questions others have. These men will help equip us to help others in their search for truth.

Join us as we learn how to respond to the plea.
