Avon Park Camp Meeting Bible Study

Avon Park Camp Meeting
Bible Study Introduction

I live just 3 hours from New Orleans, Louisiana.  The Big Easy is home to great gumbo, incredible French bread, amazing grilled oysters, and all other sorts of incredible coastal cuisine.  The Crescent City is also home to the sordid Mardi Gras and its overflow of iniquity, Fat Tuesday.  Juxtaposed against the backdrop of debauchery, the city's NFL football franchise is known as the New Orleans Saints! 

"Who Dat?"

When the Saints are playing, the loyal fan base cries the taunts of "Who Dat?" directing the insulting interrogative at the opposing team. 

"Who Dat?"

Scripture is replete with obscure characters with strange names who lived in times that we don't understand as citizens of a 21st century world.  We often find ourselves saying "Who Dat?"

This year's Bible study will attempt to unpack the stories of obscure as well as familiar Old Testament characters.  We will journey through these Old Testament narratives with in a quest to find age old Biblical  guidance for our lives.  Characters with names like Nadab, Abihu, Korah, Dathan, Abiram, Moses, Hobab, Jonah, Malachi, Joshua, and Adonijah will capture our attention.  Sometimes, we will find ourselves exclaiming the New Orleans chant, "Who Dat?"  Afterwards, we will know who that is!  I am eager to see you at Bible study!
