The first 7 sessions will be discussing, "Did Jesus Say That?" Jesus often said some astonishing things. He was a master teacher and his message is as relevant today as it was two thousand years ago. In this study, "Did Jesus Say That?" , listen carefully as Jesus tells us how to live today and how to prepare for tomorrow.
