Walking with Purpose: Touching the Divine, a study of the Gospel of John
Touching the Divine Bible study (Second Edition) is a study focused on the many qualities of Jesus revealed through
the Gospel of John. This study draws us into a deeper, loving relationship with Jesus as we reflect on His life and
personality. Saint John referred to himself as “the disciple whom Jesus loved.” Through John’s eyes, we learn how
much Jesus deeply loves us, and how His love is the true satisfaction of our souls. Knowing Christ more intimately,
as John did, will touch your heart and fill you with hope!

Holy Spirit. Manifestation of the fruit in our lives doesn’t just happen; they need to be pursued and cultivated. In the study sessions, each fruit will be considered and discussed in detail. Relevant teachings of Jesus and the Apostles from the Gospels and letters, Church teachings presented in the CCC, and relevant writings of Church theologians will be discussed in the group sessions and contrasted with the common ideas/definitions of them, as presented in standard dictionaries and modern secular culture. Study group members will be encouraged to actively participate in and contribute to these discussions. This study will take place on Wednesday evenings, starting September 6th, from 6:30-8 pm and the last nine weeks.
What is the Catholic Church all about? What does it mean to be Catholic? What do Catholics actually believe? The Catholic Church is extraordinary. Founded by Christ himself, the Catholic Church is where we encounter God in His Word, his sacraments, and his saints. The Church faithfully proclaims the fullness of faith, leaving no truth out. It proclaims the fullness of life, leaving no person out. It calls all to repent and to believe in God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the source of all life and salvation.
Maybe you’ve been Catholic your entire life. Maybe you’re just beginning to explore the Catholic Faith. Wherever you may be in your journey, you will be profoundly moved by the beauty and the richness of the Catholic Church. Join us for this fantastic 10-part journey starting Saturday, September 16th, at 6:45 am.
