Sunday School Questions – Topic: Poor
TOLBC believes that growth in the Christian faith is a life-long endeavor and that one of the places it can happen best is in Sunday School class. Sunday school is important in the spiritual development of Christians. It is the only place in most churches that gives a systematic, comprehensive, complete coverage of the Word of God. Currently we are studying “Wisdom for Today’s Issues: A Topical Arrangement of the Proverbs” by Stephen Voorwinde. We invite you to join us.
“Wisdom For Today’s Issues.” Topic: Poor

- Can poverty be a spiritual blessing? What spiritual blessing can come from poverty?
