SUNDAY BIBLE STUDIES
Sundays, 9:40am
Adult, THE STRONGHOLD OF THE CHOSEN: An Interactive Bible Study, Season 5, Led by Brian and Heidi Chaplin in Room #119 (5th Grade Room)
A Bible study for people who need a safe place in Jesus, The Stronghold of the Chosen helps readers see Him as the refuge we desperately need.
​
What is a stronghold?
​
Well, a stronghold is a place of safety, fortified to protect inhabitants against attack. It’s a place where people can feel secure, surrounded by high, sturdy walls. It’s a place to rest and be restored. It’s a place to plan the way forward.
It’s a place.
​
Throughout the Bible, we’re told that God is the Stronghold for those who follow Jesus, that He’s our refuge in hard times and that in His presence our resources can be renewed.
But sometimes we resist running to Jesus. Like the crowds on that first Palm Sunday, we vacillate between declaring Him Hosanna ("the One who saves") and forfeiting the very safety and security He graciously provides.
​
In The Stronghold of the Chosen, the season 5 Bible study, we’ll learn that Jesus is our safe place, along with all the reasons we should run to and remain in Him when hard times come. Join the Chaplins for this Bible study beginning October 19.
Adult, A TIME TO LAUGH …OR CRY: An Overview of the Old Testament from Genesis to Malachi with Eric Riethmeier, in
Room #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.

Junior Youth Bible Study (Students 5th-7th Grade), LAW AND LIFE (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 experience the story of a God who saves, leads, and never lets go.
​
From freeing Israel from slavery to providing bread from heaven, Yahweh revealed His unmatched power and faithfulness—even when His people grumbled and doubted. And just as God heard their cries, He hears ours. Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, He delivers us from sin and walks with us every step of the journey, shaping us into His people until we finally reach home.

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.

God made our brains. He can retrain our brains.

Stuck in your head? Hounded by regrets? Weighed down by worry? Change is possible! The thoughts that have characterized your past need not characterize the rest of your life.
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!
