The Bible in 90 Days

Can I really read the Bible in 90 days? Yes, you can! The Bible in 90 Days is a Bible reading program, helping you read attentively through the entire Bible, from cover to cover in 90 days. It is not a speed-read; rather, it's akin to reading the Bible like a novel. Reading just 12 pages each day, meet on Sunday afternoons for guided small group discussion, activities and a video lesson. The fellowship and accountability shared weekly is what makes the experience a life-changing success!

Struggler's Bible Study - The Life, Times and Psalms of David

Are you an early riser? Looking for a place to start your day with Scripture and fellowship? Join us for the Struggler's Bible Study! We will take up where we left off last spring with The Life, Times and Psalms of David. This fascinating study harmonizes the 75 Psalms attributed to David with the historical account of his life and times in the books of 1& 2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles. Our aim is to go beyond the history and really explore David's thinking, faith and personality, as they are uniquely expressed in the Psalms to try to understand how and in what way David was " a man after God's own heart". Join us!

Book study with Rev. Dr. Doug Harper

The Man Born to be King, by Dorothy Sayers
One of the most popular of Sayers' works, this famous play-cycle was originally written for broadcasting and was performed very successfully on BBC. Based on the Gospels, and completely faithful to the inspired accounts of Christ's life, Sayers adds unrecorded conversations, minor characters and all the details that give concreteness to the Gospel accounts. She does this in such a realistic and engaging manner that the whole Gospel story comes alive as an actual event taking place in our midst. "There is no other word but magnificent for this play drawn from the Gospels. Sayers' interpretation of the characters is simply brilliant. Her Jesus can bring tears to your eyes. You will be deeply moved--a powerful experience." -- Sheldon Vanauken, Author, A Severe Mercy

Band of Brothers

Gentlemen, the fall campaign is upon us! The territory has been scouted out and strategy is taking shape. Band of Brothers for the fall will begin on Thursday, September 16th and go through November 18th.

The Orders of the Day are....gather at 6:00 a.m. in Massey Tucker Hall for a wonderful breakfast prepared by our first class kitchen crew. The talk of the day begins at 6:30 a.m. At 7:00 a.m., the squads break into their small group time.

This fall, we will learn lessons from the Band of Brothers video series and book. The stories of E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne during the European campaign are captivating and inspiring. Noted author Stephen Ambrose wrote the book upon which the video series, produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, is based on. We will view video clips and draw from the four essential virtues consistently woven through the experiences of Easy Company. They are courage, determination, loyalty and friendship.

Brothers, shoulder to shoulder, in the discipleship journey. This is our mission. We shall gather on Thursdays at dawn this fall. The men of E Company did what they did for each other. We do it for each other and our Lord.

Contact Rev. Mike Fry for information or if you have questions: mfry@houstonsgrace.org, 713/267-5066.
