Heather and Ashley Holleman have fully embraced their identities as sent through nearly two decades of full-time ministry.

What does it mean to be a citizen of the kingdom of Heaven? The Sermon on the Mount articulates what the life of a Christ follower should look like, asking us the same questions it posed to its original hearers: How should a disciple relate to sin? To others? To the Law? How does a disciple think, speak, and act? In this study by Jen Wilkin, examine the words of Jesus in-depth as He challenges us to think differently about repentance, salvation, and sanctification.

Perhaps more than any other book in the Bible, Psalms gives us a complete picture of God’s character and ways, shows us the way of words through the magnificent language of its poetry, and points us to ways of prayer and praise. The Psalms are also a reliable source of blessing and comfort in life’s challenges.

With a balance of truth and application, author, teacher, and conference speaker Kathleen Nielson will guide us through a selection of Psalms that will enrich our understanding of the nature and attributes of God and cause us to think on Jesus as he is revealed in the Psalms as Savior, Shepherd, and King.

Join us as we study Leviticus and Numbers this semester. In Leviticus – A Holy God, A Holy People, what do sacrifices, priesthoods and feasts teach us about how we can bae holy and worship God properly? This study will help you understand the relationship between the old and new Testaments. God did just as He had promised when He made a covenant with Abraham. After four hundred years He brought the sons of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. He gave them His statutes and ordinances, established a priesthood, and gave them the pattern for the tabernacle where He might dwell among them. But how could He dwell among them? How could they ever hope to approach such a holy God? How could an unholy people become holy enough to worship Him properly? This is what you will see in the book of Leviticus, a book that has a message greatly needed today, a message you will find amazingly practical, applicable.

In the second part of the semester we will study Numbers – Trusting God in the Wilderness. When the Israelites cried out to God, He raised up Moses to bring them out of slavery and into the Promised Land. But the people rebelled and suffered the terrible consequence of wandering in a wilderness. Although this is an account of the journeys of Israel, you are going to discover so much that is applicable to your life. Are you following the Lord to the place He wants you to be?

Old Testament heroes are best known for their most celebrated moments: Moses dividing the Red Sea; David slaying Goliath; Gideon routing an insurmountable army; Joshua marching around the defiant walls of Jericho.

And Elijah—calling down fire on Mount Carmel.

Blinded by the remarkable narratives of our biblical heroes, we can forget they each had a backstory—months and years of development, even difficulty, which fortified their spiritual muscle and prepared them for the tasks that made their lives unforgettable.

Every serious believer longs to summon up the kind of boldness and faith that can stand firm on Mount Carmel and pray down heaven into impossible situations. Yet few are willing to go through the process required to get them there. Strength of faith, character, and boldness can only be shaped in the hidden fires of silence, sameness, solitude, and adversity. Those who patiently wait on God in the darkness emerge with their holy loyalty cemented, their courage emblazoned, and their confident belief in Him set afire.

Join us in this Priscilla Shirer study through the life and times of the prophet Elijah to discover how the fire on Mount Carmel was forged in the valley of famine. And how the emboldened, fiery faith you desire is being fashioned by God in your life right now.

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.
