CJC Weekly Bible Study through the Book of Genesis
Welcome to the CJC Weekly Bible Study where the CJC stands for "Complete Jesus Christ." If your understanding of Jesus is based only on teachings from the New Testament, then your understanding is INCOMPLETE. Regarding what we often call the Old Testament, these are the very Scriptures that Jesus said testify about Him! We'd love to have you join us as we study through the Older AND Newer Testaments in our current verse-by-verse study through the first book of the Bible: Genesis.These episodes are typically recording in our live, small-group setting in Santa Ana, California, USA. We're honored to have you join us and we pray that you will be encouraged, challenged and blessed by God! All episodes of this study are available at CJCWBS.buzzsprout.com.
