The Reformed Life
This course of study and discussion will ask the question, “What does it mean to be a Reformed Christian?” To answer this question, we will survey the “big picture” of the Christian life in Scripture before moving into practical areas of Christian living.
The purpose of this study is 1) to know who we are in Christ, 2) to know who we are as a Reformed people, and 3) to know how to live this out before God and the world.
