Summer Reading Plan
Get into Scripture this summer with this 30 day reading plan. This reading plan will guide you through the Gospel of Mark, which is also the book which we are working through during Wednesday Evening Bible Study. We will pause our Bible study for the summer, but your personal study of Mark doesn't have to. Mark is an action packed book in which the author shows you that Jesus is both the Son of God and your Savior by letting his deeds speak for themselves. Though it is the shortest of the four Gospels it is able to profoundly affect the way you view Jesus and follow after him. Download the reading guide here.
Sunday Morning Bible Study
What God teaches regarding men and women has been controversial since the fall into sin. But now Christians face new challenges. Gender is a hot-button issue. Hierarchical relations in the home, the church, and workplace can be tools of abuse. Christians need clarity on what God teaches about men and women as well as their God-given roles. In this study we will learn what the Bible says about gender, how men and women are to serve together in the home and the church, and how we can show the beauty of these teachings in our roles today.
Upcoming Sunday
The congregation in Corinth was troubled and divided. Paul wrote them, not out of anger, but out of compassion—not to shame them, but to warn them. He wanted to encourage humility in them–a humility which would lead to the same kind of compassion their Savior demonstrated.
