Christian Confidence on Campus

Me with my own Bible With our world changing, there is a lot of uncertainty and confusion about what life after the coronavirus could possibly look like. I want to encourage you today knowing that while this is crazy for us, God is still in control and has this planned out for His good. Here are some Bible verses that have been encouraging me during this time: Philippians 4:4-7 "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone.

I was raised in a Christian household and grew up going to church. Being homeschooled most of my life, I loved church because I got to be with friends and hang out for a couple hours with people.

Bible study/small group may sound super boring and just like a school class for some, but it's the best hour and a half of the week for me. In my small group this semester, we are going through the gospel of Mark and learning more about how Jesus lived and walked on the earth years ago.  Regardless of your education and which college you attend, I'd love to invite you to my small group on Monday nights from 7-8:30pm on Zoom. The small group is hosted by United Church in the Owings Mills community. Leave a comment if you're interested in hearing more! Bible Project Logo The Bible Project Before I ope...
