God is the ultimate ‘extremist’. These lessons reveal both the extreme things God does and the extreme nature of His being. See how He reveals, sustains, and protects in extreme ways. In the Bible Discovery Class, whether participating in discussions or listening, your faith will be strengthened.

The various false religions of the world try to explain humanity’s attempts to find God. The Bible, by contrast, shows us God’s attempts to find us. He does this as He reveals His nature, abilities, and expectations, as we’ll see from Exodus.

September 19 Lesson 1 / Exodus 3:1-6, 13-15

God Calls Moses
When Moses heard God’s voice, he responded to the call but was also afraid. We should still respond to God’s Word today with both commitment and awe.

September 26 Lesson 2 / Exodus 20:1-11

God Makes a Covenant with Israel
God wanted to establish a covenant relationship with His people. His laws were clear, and obedience to them was designed to enhance His people’s witness to the nations around them.

What better ‘cornerstone’ for our faith than beginning this new season with teaching from an inductive Bible study perspective, looking at the historical background and culture and audience to bring a present-day application? You won’t want to miss this comprehensive study!

According to the Gospel of Mark, Jesus began His public ministry in the towns and villages of Galilee by proclaiming that the kingdom of God was at hand. Two elements in His ministry – teaching and healing – were so closely linked together that neither one can be understood apart from the other. The purpose of the preaching, or teaching, mission was to make people aware of their need for repentance and to give them a clearer understanding of the way they should live.

Come and join Pastor Jody for this journey of discipleship with JESUS, our Rabbi.

Your Bible is the text, as well as weekly handouts to be distributed throughout the series. (Free Bibles available.)

The intent of this class is to gain a Christian approach to the relationships in our lives (God, husband/wife, parent/grandparent/child, friends/co-workers/neighbors, brothers and sisters in Christ). Raising a strong family can be a challenge, but this opening series reminds us that God’s Word promises HOPE!

Today’s parents may face divorce, financial pressures, hectic schedules, and internet temptations. Yes, raising a strong family can be tough. To Save a Family offers practical, biblical teaching for building a strong family and raising faith-filled children. This series will help you

P Learn new methods for strengthening your relationships
P Improve communication
P Solve conflicts in a healthy way
P Deepen your faith and knowledge of biblical principles
P Grow together in love and understanding

PARENTS OF TEENS NOTE! ALL ACCESS will be opening the season with the movie “To Save a Life” featuring teens and the challenges they face that are rooted in real-life family problems. This series incorporates clips from the movie to illustrate lessons on resolving conflict, forgiveness, leaving an impact on the next generation, and more.

We want to “C-YA” in this class designed just for younger adults from recent High School grads through approx. age 23.

This is one of the most popular introductions to the Christian faith ever written. Author C. S. Lewis provides an opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith. As C-YAs experience new relationships away from familiar settings, this can be a powerful tool to help you stay grounded!

After C-YA, there’s C-YA Later for older young adults to approx. age 30. Come and dig deep!

What are the central spiritual practices – or disciplines – of our Christian faith? We need to know because it’s only by and through them that the true path to spiritual growth is found.

Filmed in Israel, the “Faith Lessons” series by teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan reveals insights into the Scriptures’ significant for today’s believers.

This brand new series picks up the Exodus story in the desert of Sinai. Come walk with Israel through the desert until reaching the Promised Land, and learn how to follow the God of the Bible who revealed Himself on Mount Sinai through Moses and in Jesus on the cross. It is this God who will, if we have faith in Him, truly fulfill and, if we fail Him, truly forgive.

Life groups are a place to connect, to belong, to care. Disciples who learn and grow together are stronger and supported by being in a Life Group.

God is looking for disciples to seek Him for who He is, rather than what He can do for them. Want to grow in discipleship? A few new Life Groups are being planned for this fall. Need a Life Group? Need a study?
