Join us for a 6-week Midweek Series on “His Mercy” held on Wednesdays until October 15th. This interactive bible study series will explore how God’s mercy transforms us into people who extend His Mercy to people in need. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible describes how God’s mercy helps people overcome their weaknesses to understand God’s calling and partner with him to serve people in need. We’ll explore ways we can share God’s mercy through our families, careers, and communities. Classes are held 7:00 pm Wednesdays in person in the Jax Church Annex and online via Zoom. Notes, recordings, and other materials will be posted on the Jax Church Teaching website. Suggested devotional book for the fall is Brett Kreider’s recently released, His Mercy: God’s Heart for People in Need (available at Amazon or in class). An audio recording of the book is available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify
