Bible Studies
After a brief, holiday hiatus both Sunday Morning (in person) and Wednesday Evening (Zoom) Bible Studies are back. On Sundays at 9:15 we have been working through the book of 1 Peter and on Wednesday Evenings at 7:00pm we have been studying the topic of Prayer. More details are below.
Current Bible Studies
Sunday 9:15am In-Person
1 Peter is a written to Christians who were scattered across the Roman province of Asia Minor suffering under intense persecution. Peter calls these people exiles and he extends them hop. Though we may not face as intense of suffering, we too are exiles. We are in the world but we are not of the world and sometimes it can even feel like we are exiles here, but there is hope. There is hope in the fact that we have been made the family of God. There is even hope in the midst of suffering as our suffering can bear witness to what Jesus has done for us. We even have a hope filled future with Christ.
Wednesday 7:00pm Zoom
Christians know that the Bible calls on them to pray. We can even quote passages like, "Pray continually." But for many of us, prayer doesn't come all that naturally. Talking to God can seem strange. Figuring out where to start can be overwhelming. Even worse, sometimes we feel too guilty to pray, and then when we don't pray we feel even more guilty. Yet prayer is vital to the Christian life. It is so vital that sometimes prayer is called spiritual breathing. We breath in deeply God’s word to us and we breathe out our praise, confession, thanksgiving, and requests. This Bible study will give you a practical overview of prayer so that you can expand and enrich your prayers.
