Did you know? The Bible Challenge website has a “Going Deeper” section. There are in-depth study guides for each book of the Bible, and accompanying audio lectures that you can listen to at your convenience. These lectures were recorded live from St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Lake Mary, FL as we went through the Bible Challenge in 2013.
I hope you will be blessed as you go deeper in the study of God’s Word.

He is not. Paul then appeals, in the name of Jesus the…
