when you open your Bible? Join the Precept Bible Study which teaches the
Inductive Study Method – a simple process that teaches you how to study and
understand the Bible for yourself. We’ll move step by step through the books of
Jonah & Jude as we learn the method before testing the waters with a deeper
study of the book of Titus. In Titus we’ll learn how to develop character and
integrity in the midst of a society which has lost respect for God. Precepts
begins on Monday, September 12th. It is open to men and women, and
childcare is available by reservation. Register online at www.firstchurchtulsa.org. Questions? Call Denise
