U Matters

Where do you get advice? For most of us the internet has become a way to pull answers from out of the air. Family and friends are another source of wisdom. But as Christians, we know that our Heavenly Father, Proverbs 2:6 promises : “For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”

This week we host Dr. Richard Schultz, a Wheaton College Old Testament Professor. He will be preaching and then giving a Bible Series Talk at 12:15PM. He is an old friend and an expert on wisdom literature in the O.T. If you want to dig deeper in Scripture and come up with ways to mine Biblical wisdom, you are in for a treat this Sunday.

Oasis

Wed, 29 Jun, 8:00PM (Refreshments at 7:30PM)

Life is a Catastrophe!
Why are prophets so angry about religious hypocrisy, exploiting the poor, and market place cheating?  Does a prophet primarily foretell the future? Why are they so negative? We will discuss Jeremiah and Amos from 8:00-8:45PM at Union and then go for ice cream.  Please bring your octopus cards and $70.
