John beautifully presents great truths of the Christian faith in his three epistles which Alistair Begg rightly calls more meaty and less milky in their theology and application. Throughout his first letter, John clearly states his reasons for writing. SO THAT...your joy may be complete (1:4); you may not sin (2:1); you may abide in Christ and not be deceived (2:26–27); you may love your brother (4:7); you may know you have eternal life (5:13). Threatened by false teachers, the recipients of this letter, then and now, need to grow in their understanding of truth so that they may live out their faith in a way that both confirms their salvation and also impacts the world around them.

In the midst of hardship, tragedy, and unanswered questions, it’s difficult to glimpse God at work. How do we hold onto our faith during these times? How do we trust God is working all things for our good and His glory?

In this study by Kelly Minter we will trace the path of Joseph’s life in the Book of Genesis to observe how God’s sovereignty reigns, even in our darkest moments. We will learn to recognize when God is working during periods of waiting, trust God’s plan when life doesn’t make sense, and rest in the sufficiency of His presence in every circumstance. His provision is enough, His presence is constant, and His purpose is unstoppable.

The purpose of the Knowing Christ class is to know Jesus Christ as the One sent by God as the Bread of Life, the Good Shepherd, the Resurrection and the Life, and more. Each week we will view a 20-minute lesson by Dr. R.C. Sproul who will explain the meaning of the “I am” sayings, then discuss the homework questions that are designed to deepen our understanding of the gospel text. Our weekly meetings will culminate in prayer and worship and the opportunity to consider our response to what we have learned.

Our goal is that through this study, your love for Christ will grow as you grow in your understanding of the risen Son, coequal and coeternal with the Father and Spirit, and the great and glorious “I Am.”

The Letters of 1, 2 & 3 John were written to encourage followers of Jesus to remain faithful to the truth. Believers are challenged to look at contrasting themes such as walking in the light instead of darkness, truth versus lies and deception, loving God more than loving the world, and the meaning of true fellowship and community rather than shallowness. This study by Kelly Minter not only reveals the heart of John but also the heart of Jesus.

Have you thought of Hebrews as a book of encouragement? The author of Hebrews urges his readers to “bear with my word of exhortation…” Nancy Guthrie says “The book of Hebrews is an appeal for endurance in spite of difficulty, perseverance in the face of disappointment.” This is a full year study beginning in Fall 2020 through Spring 2021. We will use inductive study methods and Nancy Guthrie’s study guide of Hebrews, “Hoping for Something Better” to unpack God’s word of exhortation to 1st century believers and for us today in the 21st century.

Paul has not yet been to Rome and wants to encourage the church and remind them of the things they believe. So, he writes them a letter – one of the most articulate descriptions of the gospel ever written. In this verse by verse study of chapters 1-7, Paul explains the fundamentals and foundations of the Christian faith: the sovereignty of God, the righteousness of God, and salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone.

We will gather each Tuesday evening via Zoom to have Community and Conversation in the book of Proverbs. At a time when everything seems turned upside down and nothing appears to be what we know as “normal,” we will come together for community in support of one another in the common bond of Jesus. We also will have conversation as we talk and walk through the book of Proverbs. Our goal will be to consider the wisdom of God’s Words in this book and apply it to our daily lives so that we can be who God calls us to be as His daughters and share this wisdom with others.
