Midweek Women:
Untangle Your Emotions: Discover How God Made You to Feel—Feelings aren’t sinful. In fact, the way you feel can lead you to a deeper connection with God and other people. Author Jennie Allen will guide the discussion, using scientific research, biblical insight, and her own story to help you explore the world of feelings. Join us and learn how to apply biblical wisdom and therapeutic research in order to live an emotionally healthy life.
Facilitator: Lauren Ray
Location: Sapp Conference Room | Study Guide: $15.00
Midweek Men:
The Awe of God: The Astounding Way a Healthy Fear of God Transforms Your Life—Fearing God is very different than being afraid of God. The awe of God is not a topic you’ll hear much about these days, but if you want to build a faith that stands strong through troubled times, you cannot afford to dismiss this idea. Author John Bevere will be your guide as you learn how healthy and holy fear builds maturity and conformity to the image of Christ. You will learn how the awe of God will lead to your own confidence, fearlessness, and security.
Facilitator: Chad Mullins
Location: River Classroom | Study Guide: $15.00
Midweek Studies:
God Sightings—Join us for a spring discussion of our God Sightings reading together. We will dig deeper and discover together how God’s presence is with us in unpredictable, yet in everyday ordinary ways. We will explore penetrating, life-changing questions, and see God with brand-new eyes as we share together. Find freshness in God in this new season of bright days in a fun and interactive way.
Facilitator: Anna Miller

Midweek Bible Study:
James: Your Authentic Faith—Join us as we take a deep dive into the New Testament book of James, where faith is not an abstract idea but a practical way of living. During our six-week study we will discover what it means to live with authenticity in our contemporary world.

Join us! Let's journey together as we read the Bible in its entirety. Watch God at work in your life, not because He has suddenly shown up, but because you have new eyes to see and experience God every day.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Week 17 April 22-28: Judges 1-10, Luke 21:29-24:53, Psalms 90-100, Proverbs 13:24-14:12
Many God Sightings have been shared with us as we are journeying together through God's word. We are creating space for you to share your God Sighting with others as a way of encouragement and community with a designated Facebook group. Feel free to share your God sighting, any encouragement, or new revelation for the edification of others by clicking the button below and joining our FB group.
“Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.”
- 1 Thessalonians 5:11 ESV
