Sunday Morning Bible Study: “Not My Jesus: Reclaiming the Truth, Rejecting the Idols” by Shane Pruitt

Sunday mornings, between 9 and 11 AM worship services October 18 through December 6

To know the real Jesus, we must see Him through the pages of the Bible. This Jesus doesn't change based on our feelings or opinions; He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Only this Jesus can save and transform our lives. In this Bible study, you will identify ways that many people misunderstand Jesus by comparing the Jesus of Scripture to counterfeit versions shaped by preferences, opinions, and culture. This eight-session study by pastor and author Shane Pruitt will help us get a biblical understanding of who the REAL Jesus is, and help us spot false versions of Jesus in our culture.

Monday Night Study: “Our Father, Who Art…”

Monday nights via ZOOM only, 7:00 to 8:00 PM September 14 through November 2

This Bible study looks at the Lord’s Prayer in depth. We pray this frequently and it is so familiar that many times our mind wanders as we recite it. But, what are we REALLY praying for? Jesus taught us this prayer, but the meaning of the seven petitions is not only contained in the words themselves, but also in the scriptures that support these words. This ZOOM Bible study will be offered on Monday evenings at 7:00 PM, beginning September14. Each of the eight sessions will last about an hour. Further information and registration for this study can be directed to Bill Rehrig at william.rehrig@yahoo.com or 443-231-8056.

​Men's Bible Study: "The Gospel of Mark” by Tim Keller

Tuesday nights, 6:00 to 7:30 PM—ZOOM ONLY September 8 through November 17

The Gospel of Mark is generally believed to be the first of the four gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). It is considered the model and often the source for the other gospels. The Gospel of Mark divides into two parts. The first part answers the question: Who is Jesus? It ends with Peter’s confession in Chapter 8:27-30. The second half of the Gospel of Mark answers the question: What did he come to do? It climaxes with Jesus’ death and resurrection. This study by Tim Keller will answer both of those questions and more. Our men’s study will meet at 6:00 PM via ZOOM only in the fall. For more information, contact Tom Scott at tho929mas@hotmail.com or Bill Rehrig at william.rehrig@yahoo.com. The group will continue this study in the spring, focusing on the second part of the Gospel of Mark.

  

Women's Bible Study

Join us for our women’s Bible study on Thursday mornings at 9:30 AM in the summer.  The study will be “The Names of God” by Tony Evans.

To fully grasp the significance and power of knowing God's names, you first need to understand the context of names within biblical cultures. In Old Testament times, a name was more than simply nomenclature. It was, rather, a replica and revelation of the individual or thing itself.  This study examines eleven names of God. The words translated as name show up over one thousand times in Scripture and routinely carry with them power, responsibility, purpose, and authority.  A name not only expresses the essence and significance of what is being named but also-when duly authorized-accesses the capacity intrinsic within it.  Get to know the names of God because it is in knowing His character and His capacity that you will rest and discover both peace and power in His covenant care.

Wednesday Morning Bible Study: “Job: Trusting God in Suffering” by John MacArthur

Wednesday mornings, 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM September 16 through December 9

The events that occur in the book of Job present readers with a profound question: "Why do the righteous suffer?" Although a direct answer to this question seems important, the book of Job does not set forth such a response. Job never learned the reasons for his suffering. In fact, when God finally confronted Job, he could only put his hand over his mouth and say nothing. His silence underscores the importance of trusting God's purposes in the midst of suffering, because suffering—like all other human experiences—is directed by perfect divine wisdom. All are welcome to join us for our Wednesday morning Bible study at 11:00 AM. If you would like to attend this class, contact Mary Lou Roberts at robertsmarylou907@gmail.com.

Wednesday Night Bible Study: “With All Your Heart: Being God’s Presence to Our World” by Ray Vander Laan

Wednesday nights, 6:30 to 8:00 PM at The Well October 14 through November 18

The honeymoon is over. Do you remember where your blessings come from? In Exodus, God warned Israel to remember him when they left the dry desert and reached the fertile fields of the Promised Land. But in this six-session study by teacher and author Ray Vander Laan, discover how quickly the Israelites forgot God and began to rely on themselves. Vander Laan teaches the Bible through the lens of its original historical, geographical, and cultural context. We will learn that the desert is where we are closest to God and where our relationship with God is most at peace. You'll walk in the shoes of the Israelites through geographic locations in Israel like Timnah, the Negev, and Jerusalem to gain a new understanding of the Bible that will ground your convictions and transform your life
