TUESDAY EVENING BIBLE STUDY FALL 2024
This bible study program allows participants to grow closer to Christ and His Church by studying Sacred Scripture. This weekly program combines individual study (optional), small group discussions, and DVD lectures.

  • REVELATION: THE KINGDOM YET TO COME shows how the kingdom established by Christ in his Church is intimately connected with the kingdom of heaven. Study presenter Jeff Cavins pulls back the veil on the rich symbolism present in Revelation. Discover what the mysterious figures and images of Revelation mean and see how Revelation is more than an apocalyptic vision of the “end times.” Explore the Church’s teaching on the second coming of Christ and the Last Judgment. Understand how God, the Divine Bridegroom, and the Church, his spotless bride, enter into a heavenly, holy, and mystical marriage every time we celebrate Mass. This is an 11-week study begins Tuesday, Sept. 3 and continues through Tuesday, Nov. 12. Each evening session includes a small group discussion of the weekly study questions (from an optional but recommended study guide) and a video presentation with expert commentary.
