SUNDAYS at 8:15 AM

CHILDREN'S SUNDAY SCHOOL

Topic: God Leads His Nation



Learn how God led his people to the Promised Land through his faithful servants: Moses, judges, and kings of Israel. Lessons include in-depth study, application, and journaling.

ADULT BIBLE CLASS

Grade 11+ and Adults

New Topic: “My Life for the Kingdom”

This 10-week course (based on Genesis chapters 37-50) uses the life of Joseph and his family to help students discover the ways God graciously equips them to bless others and how he uses evil intentions for the good of his people.

WEDNESDAY EVENINGS at 7 PM

ADULT BIBLE CLASS

Adults

Topic: Job

Most Christians are familiar with the story of Job, the wealthy man who lost everything as part of Satan’s plan to destroy his faith. But few Christians have read the entire book, including the lengthy discourse between Job and his friends. Studying this book in its entirety gives Christians insight into the heart and mind of a suffering Christian, giving the readers an important framework for their own times of suffering.

THURSDAY MORNING at 9AM

WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY

Adult women

New Topic: “Families of the Bible”

This 8-week course explores familiar Biblical family relationships - from Adam and Eve to Mary and her son Jesus - and the challenges those families faced. Each lesson examines Scriptural truths from a biblical family circumstance and applies them to modern family life.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

PRAYER OF THE WEEK

Heavenly Father, praise be to you for your merciful love in Christ that chose me even before the world began. It was your pleasure and plan from all eternity that I should be your own for all eternity, holy and blameless in your sight (Ephesians 1:4-6). I glorify you for sending your Son to carry out my salvation. I thank you for calling me through your Word and justifying me by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Let your eternal plan comfort me in all trials and reassure me of my eternal inheritance that you have promised and sealed in me with your Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13,14), so that no one can ever snatch me out of your hand (John 10:27-29). In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
