National Bible Bee Competition 2018

The National Bible Bee Competition 2018 focused on what it means to Thrive through studying the book of James and Philippians. Contestants explored how Christian maturity comes through trials, the Word, faith, self-control, humility, and prayer, becoming doers of the Word and not hearers only. NBBC was held at Oak Hills Church (Crownridge Campus) in San Antonio on December 3–6, 2018. 

Consider it pure joy…because you know that testing of your faith produces perseverance…that you may be complete not lacking anything.

James 1:2–4
