About the format:
For each new topic Bob will begin by providing an overview based on his
studies, and we will then go into a conversation involving all who are present.
We will have opportunity to ask questions of one another and share thoughts
from our own studies and contemplation of the Scriptures.

A bit more about
the conference format:
Bob’s comments
will be based on his recently completed series of books:
·
The
Visitation
·
The
Waiting
·
The
Pause
·
The
Return of the King
It is not
necessary that you have a copy of these books as Bob will be sharing a brief
overview of each segment before our time of discussion. Most of our time will
be in discussion; not in listening to Bob (or anyone else).
Those who have
done their own studies … please come prepared to share from your notes. But you’ll
need to keep it brief. Our goal at this conference will be to examine the New
Testament from 30,000 feet … an “overview” of these Scriptures and not a
detailed examination of any given passage or passages.
There is a place
for a study of trees, but if one devotes their entire energy to studying the
tree he will not appreciate the forest. Our goal here will be to consider the
forest, with a special focus on contemplating how all portions of the
Scriptures fit together.
