"Conversations That Change Us"
Wednesdays in October | 12:00 p.m. | Fellowship Hall
What happens to faith when it becomes more about talking about Jesus than talking to Jesus? Do we risk reducing a living relationship to abstract ideas—Jesus becoming a topic rather than a presence? Does prayer drift into ritual, and ministry into duty, when it’s no longer rooted in communion with Christ?
The Gospel of John resists such drift. It is a Gospel built on conversations—long, rich, and transformative ones. From Nicodemus under the cover of night to the Samaritan woman at the well, from a man born blind to Mary, Martha, and Pontius Pilate—Jesus doesn’t just talk at people, he speaks with them. And they are never the same.
This October, the Bible in Black & White community will listen in on these conversations—and join them. Our hope is to encounter Jesus as we encounter each other, with open minds, honest hearts, and a willingness to be changed.
No registration necessary. All are welcome.
Dates: October 1, 8, 15, 22 & 29, 2025
Location: Second Presbyterian Church, Roanoke
