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.

PRAYER OF THE WEEK

Lord Jesus, before you ascended into heaven, you promised to send your Holy Spirit to be my Counselor. Thank you for keeping your promise and filling me with his presence. If it weren't for him and his work, I wouldn't be able to trust in you. In connecting me to you, what wonderful blessings flow from your heart into mine: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. Grant me a rich measure of your Spirit's presence as I seek to bear abundant fruit for your glory with my life! Amen.
