Bellevue Women's Spring 2023 Bible Study Kickoff
Join us as we introduce our Spring 2023 Bellevue Women study, "Free."In this 10-week study of Galatians, we will go through Paul’s letter to the Galatians, which sounds more like a declaration of war than a pastoral letter to a church. He has heard that the community of believers is engaged in a battle between rules and relationship, legalism, and love. So, with a no-holds-barred approach, Paul sets the record straight: salvation is in Christ alone, by grace alone, through faith alone. Join us for this journey through Paul’s epistle and discover for yourself what the Galatians found out—in Christ, you truly are free!
