This
fall, we
invited Dr. Dale Bruner, considered by many to be one
of America’s most exciting Bible teachers, to spend
a weekend at First Pres.
During his time with us, he gave three plenary adresseses
on the
Bible
to “jump
start” discipleship
training for everyone: his messages brought several famous
passages from the Gospel of John to
life in a fresh, contemporary translation and practical
application.
