ADULT BIBLE STUDIES

SUNDAY MORNINGS AT 9:20 AM

JOHN WESLEY on CHRISTIAN BELIEFS

IN ROOM W50 ~ Starting January 11

 

Come join us for a Bible Study on John Wesley’s top sermons starting January 4 through March 22. 

 

These sermons are written in modern English while retaining Wesley’s original meaning.

 

John Wesley's Sermons are centered around grace, faith, personal holiness, and social justice.

Salvation is a gift from God, received through Grace rather than human effort. We will see how trusting in Jesus is necessary for Salvation and that as individuals, we must accept God’s Grace to be saved. We will learn that Christians should strive for Personal Holiness in love. This pursuit of Holiness is where we are transformed into the likeness of Christ. Faith includes regular prayer, bible study and community worship.

 

All are welcome to join this exciting, life-changing study on Sunday mornings at 9:20.  So sign up and bring your Bible to class. We would love to have you join the discussion led by your Church friends.

 

If you have any questions, please contact Gregg Tallman at 1-319-431-6448.

  

WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY: THE REASON FOR GOD by TIMOTHY KELLER

IN THE W10 ~ Starting January 11

 

Ladies, you’re invited to join our Women’s Bible Study for a six-week journey through The Reason for God.

 

This winter, we’ll be walking through The Reason for God—a rich and thoughtful study where pastor and author Timothy Keller addresses some of the most common questions and challenges to the Christian faith. Even for those who already believe, Keller’s insights deepen our understanding, strengthen our confidence, and equip us to talk about our faith with grace and clarity.

 

Each week, participants will watch the video session and read the assigned chapter outside of class, allowing our time together to focus on meaningful conversation and personal application. Our discussions will explore how the truths of Scripture speak into everyday life, relationships, and the world around us.

 

If you’re looking to grow in spiritual wisdom, strengthen your faith, and enjoy community with other women, we’d love for you to join us!

OLD TESTAMENT HISTORY: CHRONICLES

IN ROOM W40 

 

No matter how many times we read through and study the Old Testament, there is always more insight and a better understanding as our faith journey continues. The goal of this class is to read every word in the Old Testament, and then as a World History Class, discuss the events of their known world that shaped and influenced their lives at this particular time. This class is open to everyone regardless of age or personal knowledge of the Old Testament.

  

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AT 4:40 PM

THE LIFE OF JESUS

BASIC BIBLE: ROMANS

IN ROOM W50 ~ Starting January 7

 

Do you want to learn the basic beliefs and practices of a follower of Jesus? Join Pastor James for Basic Bible: Romans, where we will walk through Paul’s writing in the Book of Romans. Together, we’ll ask questions and consider what Christians are to believe about Jesus and how that calls us to behave in the world today.  You will be given a few questions each week to help you notice what the Bible says and bring your own questions to the text. Whether you’re new to the Bible or just want a fresh way to engage with it, this is a great place to start..

MERE CHRISTIANITY by C.S. LEWIS

IN ROOM W40 ~ Starting January 14

 

Regardless of where you are in your faith journey, we need to understand the ethical and moral foundations that help us answer why we believe what we believe, how we can show that faith in God, belief in the resurrection, and presence of the Holy Spirit in the world and our lives has intellectual merit.  All of this helps those who engage in any form of apologetics.

LOVE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER BEEN HURT

IN ROOM W10 ~ Starting January 7

 

 

It’s no secret that those closest to us can wound us the most. All of us carry scars from betrayal, rejection, abuse, or broken hearts. Yet even in the midst of pain, God is faithful. He takes our pain and transforms it into praise, and in our grief, He reveals His glory.

 

This Bible study, led by Liz Hinzie, points us back to Christ as the key to freedom from the prison of hurt, pain, and suffering. It reminds us that our strength, courage, and ability to love again come not from ourselves but from God’s Spirit at work within us. Don’t allow someone else’s actions to determine the condition of your heart—surrender it fully to the Lord. 

 

In this study, we are guided to tear down the walls we’ve built out of self-protection, to let God heal our wounds, to seek reconciliation where possible, and to open our hearts to the transforming power of His love. When we do, we reflect Christ’s love to others and discover that His grace is greater than our pain.
