Course Description
Throughout the media, many times the portrayal of Jesus is often at odds with what we are hear at church. In this course, we will set the record straight on Jesus, examining the principle source we have of His life – the Gospels – and learning about Who He really is and How He can change our lives. In examining the Gospels, we will see that the real Jesus is the One Who has loved us from eternity, offers us hope and healing, and offers us true and everlasting peace.
