Fairview Baptist Small Group Lesson

Did Jesus "accidentally" fulfill the prophecies of the Old Testament? Did the Gospel writers lie to make it appear Jesus fulfilled the OT prophecies? Did Jesus manipulate the circumstances of His life and trick people into believing He was the Messiah? That is what some claim. In our lesson, we see that such arguments are illogical.

In our second lesson on the Resurrection of Jesus, we explore the reality of his death. Did Jesus really die on the cross? He did and He rose from the dead!

This week, we examine the account of the Rich Young Ruler and learn that the passage is more concerned with our personal sin and the need for Jesus than with wealth.

This week we answer a question about the limit of forgiveness. We learn that our forgiveness is only limited by the amount of forgiveness shown to us by the Lord.

This week, we study the events related to the Transfiguration of Jesus. In this event, we see the true nature of Jesus.
