Bible Study

A STUDY IN THE BOOK OF Ephesians

Letter to the Ephesians: Paul uses terms like grace, love, riches, inheritance, and fullness to show us our true relationship in Christ. Our identity in Christ strengthens us in the continuing struggle against the powers of darkness, promotes greater unity in the church, and spurs the transformation of our lives into greater conformity to the purity and holiness of the calling of God.

Discovering Christ

This class takes the core concepts of the Gospel of Mark and relates them simply and directly to people who are not yet Christians. The class content is not meant to be exhaustive or deeply theological. Instead, it gives the simplest and most straightforward explanations of the facts of the gospel, what is necessary for sinners to be forgiven of their sins and spend eternity with God in heaven. The class is primarily designed for non-Christians, especially those who are basically unfamiliar with Christianity, and secondarily for existing Christians who desire to learn how to go through the gospel of Mark with an unbeliever.

Internal & External Journey

Reading the Bible Well

Adults generally know how to read different genres of literature. For example, if you hand a person a newspaper article, a poem, and a housing lease, they will intuitively use different reading strategies suitable to each document. The purpose of this class is to help the members of our church read the Bible well by: (1) recognizing different genres of literature in the Bible and (2) employing reading strategies suitable to each genre.

How should I do Family Worship?

The home of every Christian family should be a place where God is worshipped, but we often struggle to do that with our spouses and children. The goal of this BFL class is to equip you with the knowledge and tools to worship God in your home together through a pattern of family worship. In our first class, we will overview the biblical and historical basis for family worship, why we should want to have this pattern, and the basic parts of family worship in the home. The following four classes will begin with a practical demonstration of family worship during a particular stage of life, followed by a time of Q&A and a discussion of common questions and resources that may be helpful to you during that stage of life.

Matters of the Heart: Biblical Helps for the Tough Struggles of Depression, Anxiety, & Anger
