The Heart of
Discipleship
Come see and experience
God's story and have the Bible and your faith come alive!
The Heart of Discipleship is excited
to present a Christian adult formation series of webinars that will enrich your
understanding of the Bible as well as strengthen your relationship with God and
others.
Is
God Relevant in your life? The Deacon Carmen J. Viola will be pointing us
towards self-discovery and a bigger way of seeing and experiencing God. Let
those who have eyes see! Carmen’s webinars will use visuals from his new book
as well as images from his trips to Israel to make biblical concepts come
alive. Come join us. If you sign up before Sept 30th
you will also receive the PDF copy of The Heart of Discipleship for
free.
It
has often been said that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” During the
Middle Ages, churches used vivid imagery, including stained glass windows and
paintings, to tell God’s story. Prior to the modern era, most people could not
read or write so they relied on pictures and religious interpreters to
understand the Bible. Pictures, for many of us, are still a powerful way to
share stories and understand biblical context.
The
book by Carmen Viola is beautifully illustrated and involves you in the ongoing
conversation and narrative of what it means to follow Jesus. The illustrations
in this book depict stories from the Bible to illuminate God's word. The images
can be viewed by a child one level, while an adult can view the same image and
be led into a more complex understanding of the Creator. Often seeing things
from a different point of view can give us fresh insight into God's plan for
our world and our lives. These stories of the ancient world come alive in
pictures and show all of us why God’s word is still important and relevant
today.
What
if you could see the world as God sees it – not only with an open mind, but
with an open heart? Come! Discover what God has been trying to show us all
along. God will meet you wherever and however you are…Right Here, Right Now!
We
invite you to participate in this series of Free webinars and on-line discussions.
The Webinars will “go-live” every Monday evening beginning on Sept 26th through
on-line invitation. The time is from 8PM
to 9PM. To sign up please email us at heartofdiscipleship@gmail.com.
You will be given an invitation link and the syllabus for the year as well as
the free color PDF of the book. Missed seminars can be seen on YouTube at The
Heart of Discipleship channel.
Grace & Peace!
