BSF Offering a Men's Bible Study at Blacknall
Bible Study Fellowship (BSF), a Blacknall partner, invites all men to an ongoing Bible study that meets on Monday nights at 7 p.m. at Blacknall. The study, “People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided,“ unpacks a fascinating period in Israel’s history across 15 books, from its split into two nations, through dozens of kings and prophets, and ultimately to the heartbreaking exile into Babylon.
