Episode 83: Bearing Witness

To be a Christian is to be a student. The word “disciple” means “student”, and before he ascended to Heaven, Jesus’s final command to his students was that they should go into all the world and teach, making more students (Matthew 28:19-20). As Christians in the modern world, our calling is still to be students of Jesus and to help each other in fellowship as we learn about Him and from Him. We are to be Students of the Word, studying the Bible, the written word of God, as we walk as the disciples of Jesus, the living Word. 
My name is Corey Olsen, and I am hosting a Bible study open to anyone who would like to join me as a Student of the Word. Would you like to join me for a patient, thoughtful, and prayerful study of the Bible together, reading whole books verse by verse?
