Small Group Study: Biblical Myth Busters
Book: Osborne, Larry (2009) "10 Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe", Colorado Springs: Multnomah Books; Bible (Purchase Book)
Description: Your small group is invited to study over the next twelve sessions, this bible study. You will dissect the dangers embedded in ten commonly held cultural assumptions about the Bible and a life of faith. While the foundation of our study is God's Word, which has been, is now, and forever will be the ultimate source of Truth, you will use Osborne's book as a springboard for discussion about common myths many ascribe to the Christian faith. So be ready to learn how wrinkled thinking about faith, forgiveness, and life's trials leads to a bumpy road as you tackle the "clichés" of our time that turn the Joy of our Salvation in Christ alone into "happy talk" and "wishful" living.
