Acts 17:2 says that Paul “reasoned with them from the Scriptures…” Would you be able to do this with someone else? Do you have a strong enough grasp on the Truth of the Gospel to reason with someone who had questions? This is why Bible Study is one of the core values of First Baptist. We must always be ready to give a defense of the hope that is within us as 1 Peter 3:15 states. How can we do that unless we have taken the time to study the Bible individually and as a church?
We have a rich history of Sunday School/Bible Study at First Baptist Gonzales. If you look to the right of the outside Fellowship Hall doors, you will see a marker recognizing Thomas J. Pilgrim. Mr. Pilgrim was one of the charter members of First Baptist back in 1847. Before that, Thomas J. Pilgrim is credited with starting the first Sunday School in the state of Texas in 1829. Pilgrim’s actions were in violation of Mexican law because he was promoting Protestant worship.
From the beginning, Sunday School/Bible Study has been at the core of who First Baptist Gonzales is. As a member of First Baptist Gonzales, I hope that Bible Study, individually and in a group, is part of the core of who you are. After all, how can you reason with others when you do not know the Bible?
