SUNDAY BIBLE STUDIES
Sundays, 9:40am
Adult, RELATE(ABLE): How God Can Change Our Persepective on Relationships, Led by Brian and Heidi Chaplin in Room #119 (5th Grade Room)
A look at relationships the way God intended them to be.
No one is better at relationships than God. His very being—as one God in three persons—is relationship. And He created us so that we could be in relationship with Him and with each other.
From the moment we're born, relationships shape who we are and how we engage with the world around us. Beginning with how we see ourselves, we develop a view of God and others that impacts the way we relate to our parents, navigate friendships, dating relationships and marriage.
In this six-session study, by Louie Giglio, we’ll look at how God can:
-
Change our perspective on relationships.
-
Give us greater purpose in dating and marriage.
-
Bring us peace in the midst of relational conflict.
-
Help us restore relationships that seem broken beyond repair.
Because God has gone to extraordinary lengths to relate to us, we have the potential to build incredible relationships with one another. Embracing God's love and receiving His grace changes the way we relate to him, our family, our friends, and ourselves.
Adult, THE 12 DISCIPLES OF JESUS, with Ken Fritsch, in Rm #203 (6th Grade Room)
Who were the men Jesus chose to change the world—and what can we learn from them today?
Join us as we take a closer look at the lives of the 12 disciples—their strengths, their failures, and how Jesus used ordinary people for extraordinary purposes. This study will challenge and encourage you in your own walk of faith, no matter where you are.
High School Bible Study (Students 8th-12th Grade), THE BOOK OF JOB, lead by Holly Nelson, in the Media Center Room (#301)
Ever wondered why bad things happen—even to good people?
Let’s talk about it. Life isn’t always easy—and Job gets that. In this series, we’ll explore real questions about suffering, faith, doubt, and trusting God even when life doesn’t make sense. No fake answers. No pressure. Just honest conversation and truth from God’s Word.
Junior Youth Bible Study (Students 5th-7th Grade), LAND AND LOSS (The Gospel Project), with Tom McClelland, in the 8th Grade Room (#207)
A Christ-centered, chronological Bible study that will take your students on a journey through the storyline of Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, to see how Christ connects with all of Scripture. Along the way, students will discover the big picture of what God has been doing throughout redemptive history and what it means for them.
This quarter we’re going to anchor ourselves in a recurring idea throughout much of Scripture: cycles. In the Pentateuch—Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy—we saw a cycle of deliverance and disobedience. In much of Joshua and Judges, we’ll see this same cycle continue. After wandering for forty years, God’s people entered the promised land, but they carried patterns of sinfulness, distrust, and disobedience with them.
Although they committed to following only Yahweh in a land of many false gods, they quickly fell into idolatry. The cycle from the wilderness followed them into Canaan. It’s easy for us to recognize Israel’s cycle of disobedience because it’s our cycle as well. But there was a much more powerful cycle at work beneath all of Israel’s failures: a cycle of God’s patience and redemption. Their sin ran deep, but His love and grace ran deeper. This same cycle of God’s patience and redemption continues with us. And this cycle can’t and won’t be broken.
Sundays during 10:30am service
KIDZONE (Students age 4 - 4th Grade), with Holly Nelson and team
With Simply Loved, we will explore a foundational, Jesus-centered journey through God’s story of Love. Each week, every message and activity sets the stage to help children more intentionally grow their friendship with Jesus.
WEDNESDAY BIBLE STUDIES
Wednesday, 10:00am, Adult, THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: GENTLENESS with Pat Klein, AT PEACE, Gathering Room
In a world that often values strength, speed, and speaking our minds, what does it mean to live with gentleness? Is it weakness—or something much deeper?
Join us as we explore how the Holy Spirit forms gentleness in our hearts and lives, shaping the way we speak, respond, and care for others.
Wednesdays, 6:30pm, Adult, LIFELIGHT: DANIEL, with Pat Longtin, AT PEACE, Room #203 (6th Grade Room)
This study is part of the LifeLight Bible study series of in-depth studies of Bible books. The goal of LifeLight is that through a regular program of in-depth personal and group study of Scripture, more and more Christian adults may grow in their personal faith in Jesus Christ.
Daniel carries the first accounts of an Israelite serving a foreign king since Joseph served Pharaoh in Egypt centuries earlier. Daniel entered the service of Babylonian kings as a boy, but lived long enough to see Babylon fall to the Persians.
Who were these kings Daniel served, who ruled over great empires stretching from modern-day Egypt to modern-day Iran? Join us as we explore the Book of Daniel.
Wednesdays, 6:30pm, Adult, IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE SAVIOR: Following Jesus Through the Holy Land., with JEFF DESANO, AT PEACE, Room #207 (8th Grade Room)
Have you ever wondered what the Holy Land might have looked like through Jesus's eyes? In the Footsteps of the Savior is an invitation to come alongside Max Lucado as he shares meaningful insights on the people and places that shaped Jesus's life.
With beautiful photographs and thoughtful questions for reflection, In the Footsteps of the Savior will take you on a journey through Bethlehem, Nazareth, Galilee, the Jordan River, Bethany, Jerusalem, and more.
Wednesdays ZOOM, 7:00pm,
Adult, GENESIS, with Deacon Jim Schurig, ON ZOOM
The book of Genesis is the first book of the Bible. It is divided into two main parts, with chapters 1-11 telling the story of God and the whole world, and chapters 12-50 focusing in on the story of God, a man, and his family. These two parts are connected by a sort of "hinge" story in the beginning of chapter 12. This literary design gives us a clue as to how to understand the message of the book as a whole, as well as how the entire story of the Bible comes together.
The Big Idea
Out of disorder and darkness, God creates order, beauty, and goodness. From Genesis 3 onward, humans continue acting selfishly and doing evil, but God remains faithful and refuses to abandon them or His world.
Join us on Wednesdays, via Zoom, to learn more about Genesis!
