Bible Studies Opportunities

SUNDAY MORNINGS @ 10:20 AM— FELLOWSHIP HALL

Act Like Jesus

We all want to live more like Jesus lived, but simply wanting to and trying harder isn't enough. To truly become like Jesus, our beliefs need to not only inform us but also transform us. It is the practice of reaching up to God and out to others that will drive beliefs from our head to our heart.

Act Like Jesus teaches the life-giving spiritual disciplines that will lead us in fulfilling our mission to love God and love our neighbor.

Over 8-weeks you'll develop practices such as:

  • How to pray more deeply and attentively.
  • How to develop lasting, Christ-centered relationships.
  • How to share your faith with authenticity.

And you'll explore the answers to essential questions like:

  • How do I worship God?
  • How much of my life does God want?
  • How do I use my money to serve God?
  • What spiritual gifts has God given me?

Join us Sunday mornings beginning September 7th to grow in your faith and to learn to be more Christlike in our daily lives.

WEDNESDAY MORNING @ 8 AM—OLD 29 CAFÉ

Portals of Prayer
Men of all ages are invited to join us as we dig into God's Holy Word reading through portions of scripture and then read the daily devotion from Portals of Prayers (available for free at the church). We meet at Old 29 Café, for breakfast and the Word. No need to buy breakfast come and just feast on the Word with fellow men of the congregation and enjoy some casual conversation along the way as well.

THURSDAY STUDY @ 10 AM - Church Fellowship Hall

Jesus Said What?

Jesus doesn't always tell you what you want to hear. But He always tells you what you need to hear, and even the hard words are a gift given to you in love.

In Jesus Said What?, author Christopher Kennedy tackles some of Jesus' words that people may struggle to understand. It may seem easier to avoid some of Jesus' tough sayings, but instead of shying away from these passages, Kennedy urges readers to look to Scripture to understand Scripture.

As the Ten Commandments are connected with the words of Jesus, Kennedy demonstrates the Law, but reminds Christians to stay firmly focused on the forgiveness and grace that comes through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He brings clarity to fifteen of Jesus' most difficult teachings, on topics such as money, family relationships, and consequences for sin. Each chapter explores one teaching of Jesus by looking at His full treatment of the topic, parallel passages throughout the Bible, and the biblical context to help readers come to a faithful and faith-enriching understanding of Jesus' words.
