OLD TESTAMENT HISTORY: THE THREE KINGS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM

IN ROOM W30

 

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.

  

GOSPEL IN LIFE: A WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY

IN ROOM W40 ~ Starting February 23rd 

 

The Gospel in Life study begins with the city, your home now, the world that is. The final week closes with the theme of the eternal city, your heavenly home, the world that is to come.

 

Throughout this eight-week ascent--from earthly work to the final revelation of grace--you'll learn how the gospel can change your heart, your community, and how you can live as a disciple of Jesus Christ in this world, right now, even as you look forward to the promise we have in him.

PSALMS: PART III - A PARENTS GROUP

IN ROOM W10 

 

The Psalter is God’s prayer book for His people. It contains praise and prayers for all seasons and times. This volume guides the reader through Books IV and V of the Psalms. Psalms 90-150 serve to rebuild faith and hope by reorienting God’s people with the themes of God’s kingship, steadfast love, and guidance through history. These psalms teach God’s people to worship, to live faithfully, and to prepare for His good future wherein all creation will join God’s people in praising the Lord for who He is and what He has done. By studying the Psalms, participants will be equipped and inspired to live out a moment-by-moment walk with God through the world as His witnesses.

 

“Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them.”

(Psalm 111:2)

 

This group is perfect for parents with kids still at home.

 

PILGRIM'S PROGRESS IN TODAY'S ENGLISH

IN ROOM W50 

 

This elegant retelling of John Bunyan’s classic by James H. Thomas follows Christian as he leaves his home in the City of Destruction and begins a long journey to the Celestial City. His adventure is full of encounters with interesting people, such as Faithful, Hopeful, and Ignorance. Traveling through places such as Vanity Fair and the Valley of the Shadow of Death, he reaches his heavenly home and learns rich lessons during the journey. The story has immediate application for everyday life. Later on, Christian's wife, Christiana, decides to join her husband in the Celestial City. As she travels, Christiana comes upon a different set of people, such as Greatheart, Mercy, and Honesty. Her story illustrates how Christians follow different paths but with the same destination: eternity with Jesus.  This book will be accompanied by a study guide that includes questions for review, discussion, and reflection on each of the eleven lessons. It also includes devotional comments and applications of the truths discovered in the book Pilgrim's Progress.
