Today, Services are at 10:00 AM.
Is Foundation Institute, Center for Biblical Education, for
you? What’s it like to study one year of Bible at the
headquarters of the Church of God, a Worldwide
Association? We asked some of this year’s students to
comment.
According to the American Heritage Dictionary, the
definition of leaven is: "1. An agent, such as yeast, that
causes batter or dough to rise, especially by
fermentation. 2. An element, influence, or agent that
works subtly to lighten, enliven, or modify a whole.
Leavening includes yeast and chemical leavening
agents, such as baking powder, baking soda(sodium
bicarbonate) and potassium bicarbonate.
(Other ingredients that are sometime confused with
leaven include brewer's yeast, yeast extract, torula yeast,
autolyzed yeast, cream of tartar and cornstarch. These
are not leavening agents.)
Bible Trivia—Bible General--Suffering in the
Bible
(answers below)
A student comments: “Ever had a Bible question you just
can’t get resolved? Ever wanted to know the
background behind what is said in the Bible? Ever
wanted to learn how to study with positive results? The
atmosphere is warm, and the people are great,
regardless of the age differences. Come and experience
the Bible all day long.”
