Bible Studies
About Our Bible Studies
We embrace the membership vow of Presence, especially in the atmosphere of small groups and classes. God instilled in us the desire to belong. Evening classes and Sunday School are ways to feel connected and grow in your faith. Studying the bible in a small group is an effective way to grow your relationship closer to Christ, while at the same time getting connected with your church family. Please contact Andrea Vrtikapa, Congregational Connector, for more information.
Current Studies
Questions Jesus Asked
Wednesdays | 6:30 PM | April 4 - May 9 | A842 FLC
Join Pat Ester on Thursdays as she facilitates the 6-week study Questions Jesus Asked by Magrey DeVega.
In this 6-week study, Magrey DeVega explores six of the most provocative questions Jesus posed to others and guides us in answering them for ourselves.
Asking these questions takes courage. Not only do they reveal what Jesus really cares about, they open a window into our hearts. We all have questions for God, but growth happens when we turn things around and ask what Jesus wants to know about us. When we dare to raise them, these questions bring us a fuller appreciation for the wisdom, power, and presence of God in our lives. Are you willing to step out in faith? Are you ready to answer the questions Jesus asked?
Books will be available in the classroom for $15 each.
AHA
Wednesdays | 6:30 PM | April 3 –May 8 | Room 854 FLC
Join Rick Thomas on Wednesdays in Room 854 in the FLC, as he facilitates the Bible study, AHA: Awakening. Honesty. Action. The Moment That Changes Everything, by Kyle Idleman.
We’ve all had an "aha" moment in our lives, an insight that changes everything. With everyday examples and testimonies, author Kyle Idleman draws on Scripture to reveal how three key elements - awakening, honesty, action - can produce the same kind of aha! in our spiritual lives. In trademark City on a Hill style, the AHA Small Group Study marries straightforward bible teaching and cinematic storytelling. In it, three modern-day prodigals seek life apart from the Father, find themselves alone and desperate in their own distant country, and are faced with their AHA moment.
Action Journals will be available in the classroom. Donations are appreciated for the copy expenses.
The Third Day
Wednesdays | 6:30 PM | April 3 –May 8 | Room 852 FLC
Join Michelle Dunaway on Wednesdays in Room 852 in the FLC, as she facilitates the Bible study, The Third Day: Living the Resurrection, by Tom Berlin.
In this 6-week study, Tom Berlin uses his gifts of storytelling and understanding the Scriptures to connect the reader to the experiences of several individuals around Jesus in his final days, focusing on new life and redemption rather than loss.
Join Peter, Mary Magdalene, and Thomas as they feel the despair of losing Jesus and the surprise and joy that awaits them in the resurrection. This study traces events around these characters, along with Paul and the disciples at Emmaus, and how the resurrection transforms their lives.
Books are available for $15 each in the church office and will also be available in the classroom.
