NEW AND CURRENT BIBLE STUDIES

​

SUNDAY BIBLE STUDIES

Sundays, 9:40am

 

Adult, DON’T GIVE THE ENEMY A SEAT AT YOUR TABLE: It’s time to win the battle of your mind…”,  Led by Brian and Heidi Chaplin in Room #119 (5th Grade Room)

 

Our minds spinning seemingly out of control with thoughts that are not only unproductive, but potentially destructive and harmful.

​

These thoughts are not of God. No, they’re from the Enemy lurking, ready to seize any opportunity to lie his way into your mind and claim control over your life.

​

But God has other plans for you, better plans, where you can experience intimacy, rest, and joy beyond your circumstances.

​

In Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table Pastor Louie Giglio uses Psalm 23 as a framework to offer biblical insight on how to…

  • Cancel the lies that will wreck your life and take the empowering steps to live fully alive in Christ

  • Stop the spiral of shame, temptation, and insecurity

  • Restore peace and rest in your life

  • Embrace the true purpose behind your journey through challenging circumstances

  • Break free from the endless cycle of destructive thinking and recapture your freedom to your thoughts and emotions

​​

These things are possible if you allow Jesus, the Shepherd, to lead the battle for your mind and heart.

Discover how to break free from the chains of negative thinking and experience true freedom from unhealthy thoughts and emotions during this Bible study led by the Chaplins.

 

 

Adult, A TIME TO LAUGH …OR CRY: An Overview of the Old Testament from Genesis to Malachi, Eric Reithmeier, in Rm #203 (6th Grade Room)

What a delight it is to laugh and laugh hard.  What a relief it is to cry and cry hard.  A Time to Laugh…or Cry overviews the activity of man in the Old Testament - a time to cry because of mankind’s stubbornness and sin and a time to laugh because of God’s reaction to mankind’s sin expressed in the Messiah.  The thread of the Messiah is followed throughout.  In all lessons, both God and man will laugh and cry.  

​

Please join us for this overview of the Old Testament. â€‹

 

Youth Bible Study (Students 5th-12th Grade), REST FOR THE WEARY: A 40 End Goals Study on Sabbath and Identity, with Holly Nelson, in the 8th Grade Room (#207)

 Rest. We all long for it, but it sometimes feels illusive or unattainable. That is true for teenagers as well. They are stressed out, overwhelmed, and exhausted. We pray this four-week study on rest will give you space to explore what God’s Word has to say about rest and Sabbath and provide practical ideas for how to incorporate more rest into their lives.

Sundays during our 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

​​​

Wednesdays, 10:00am,  Adult, GALATIANS, with Pat Klein, AT PEACE, Gathering Room WILL RESUME IN JANUARY 2025

The book of Galatians reminds Jesus' followers to embrace the Gospel message of the crucified Messiah, that justifies all people through faith and empowers them to live like Jesus did. 

 

 

Wednesdays, 6:30pm, 

Adult, LIFELIGHT: TIMOTHY, TITUS, PHILEMON, 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.

​

Focusing on the vital importance of sound doctrine (that is, teaching), Paul writes to Timothy that the Gospel is essential to the church's life, for it gives the divine gift of faith even to blasphemers and persecutors and violent men. Yet the Law is also good, and it must be used properly. The church's faithful teaching of the pure Word of God-both Law and Gospel-must never become mixed with false teachings, because such falsehoods will only lead people away from the faith.

 

Adult, TBA: ADULT BIBLE STUDY /Jeff Desano, in Room #207 (8th Grade Room)

The Anxious for Nothing Study Guide provides individuals and small groups with a roadmap for overcoming anxiety and finding lasting peace.

​

Do you feel weighted down with worry? Does the uncertainty and chaos of life keep you up at night? Are irrational fears your constant companion? Could you just use some calm?

In this five-session video Bible study explores in detail God's treatment plan for anxiety found in the most underlined verse in the Bible, Philippians 4:6–7.

​

As you follow the biblical prescription for anxiety--celebrating God's goodness, asking for his help, leaving your concerns with him, and meditating on good things--you will learn how to experience God's peace. This is a peace that "transcends all understanding" and will help you reframe the way you look at your fears.

​

While anxiety is a part of life, it doesn't have to dominate your life. You can discover a life of calm and develop tools for combating the onslaught of worry.

​

Wednesdays ZOOM, 7:00pm​, 

Adult, THE EPISTLES OF JOHN, with Deacon Jim Schurig, ON ZOOM

The Epistles of John are a collection of letters written by John to encourage Christians to maintain their faith and to live a moral life. The letters' main themes include: 

​

Love and fellowship with God

The letters describe how to test if a person's communion with God is genuine. 

 

Authentic Christian faith

The letters teach that believing in Jesus as the Son of God, loving others, and obeying His commands are signs of an authentic Christian faith. 

 

Resisting heresy

The letters urge Christians to reject heretical teachings and to hold fast to what they have been taught. 

 

Imitating Christ

The letters encourage Christians to live a moral life by imitating Christ and keeping the Commandments, especially the commandment to love one another. 

 

Standing firm against discord

The letters were written to help churches stand firm against those who wanted to sow discord among them

 

Join us for the study of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd John.

Thursdays, 6:30pm, Women's Bible Study, "REVELATION," led by Marianne Iselli, in the Gathering Room WILL RESUME IN SPRING 2025
