Life Abundantly. Finding Contentment in Singleness

April 10 – May 15  |  Room A286  |  Cost: Free

Navigating singleness in adulthood can seem less like a gift and more like a race to the finish line with marriage as the goal.

With practical applications, steps, and scripture, join us for a time of fellowship and candid discussion as we dive into how to fully receive and be thankful for the gift of singleness, looking to Christ during this unique season of life, living abundantly and filled with contentment.

Spiritual Warfare

Spiritual Warfare

January 10 – March 27  |  Room A291  |  Cost: $10

There is a great war being waged in the world today. It is not a conflict between nations, tribes, or government leaders. It is not a rebellion or a coup. It is an invisible battle taking place in the spirit world. It is an invisible war in which every believer is engaged. It is a war where no one wears a uniform, but where everyone is a target. The historical and prophetical record of this war is contained in God's Word, the Bible. Join Pastor Brian Foster for a thought provoking study that you’ll walk away from with tools to fight spiritual battles around you. Teaching: Pastor Brian Foster

Pastor John MacArthur will take you through Ephesians, passage by passage, so that you can better understand the Christian encouragement and warnings in this book. When Paul wrote his letter to the believers in the city of Ephesus, he wrote to remind them of their immeasurable blessings in Jesus Christ and to admonish them to live in a manner worthy of them. Paul reminds them of the spiritual armor supplied through God’s Word and by His Spirit, and of their need for vigilant and persistent prayer. Teaching: Mary Powers

John's Gospel: The Truth

Bible Study Fellowship

Tuesdays  |  Ongoing |  7:00 pm | Room A272  |  Cost: Free

In a world where many things claim to be truth — you can even “find your own truth” — Jesus stands alone. He boldly proclaims Himself to be the only true source of freedom, peace, truth, meaning, sustenance, security, and everlasting life with God. Which leaves us asking: Are Jesus’ claims true? Through John’s Gospel, we will discover the truth about Jesus. The beauty and spiritual depth of this book cannot be exhausted, because the character and person of Jesus exceeds our finest thoughts and most eloquent expressions. Come experience Jesus’ claims personally as we study John’s Gospel: The Truth. Teaching: Lea Sullivan

Ashamed: Fighting Shame with the Word of God

Ashamed

Fridays  |  April 12 – May 17 |  9:30 am | Room A172  |  Cost: $21

When Isaiah stepped into the throne room of God, he was “undone” by his sinfulness in view of God’s holiness. When an angel touched his mouth with a coal and told him his sin was forgiven, Isaiah essentially said, “Here I am. Send me. I don’t care where. I’m yours! I’ll do whatever!” He moved from being undone by shame to a hopeful humility and an eagerness to serve the Lord. In this study, you’ll discover the deep, freeing truth that being undone is the right place to start. Move beyond your shame to the joy-inducing, peace-producing thrill that comes from a relationship with Jesus. We were made to live in the light — confessing and repenting and renouncing our shame — because Jesus experienced shame in our place. Teaching: Brooke Shealy
