Over the years God has used the truths of Experiencing God to awaken believers to a radically God-centered way of life. As a result, millions have come to know God intimately, to recognize His voice, and to understand His will for their lives. God is inviting you to experience Him in an intimate love relationship through which He reveals to you His will, His ways, and His work.

When you recognize where God is working, you can join Him in what He is doing. Carefully listening to His voice will anchor you in His plan and set you free to live it with boldness and freedom. Then you will experience God doing through you what only He can do.

The opening lines and chapters of Genesis teach us fundamental truths about God. We watch Him bring light after darkness, order after chaos, and rest after toil—all through the power of His Word. Study verse-by-verse study, dive into the first 11 chapters of Genesis by following three critical stages of understanding: comprehension, interpretation, and application. Revisit familiar stories and historical figures, challenge your basic knowledge, and discover deeper meanings in the text. As God reveals Himself through Scripture, we can only begin to understand ourselves when we first glimpse the character, attributes, and promises of our Creator.

Enduring, resilient, courageous—these are qualities we want to describe our faith in God. But the truth is that faith is hard, especially when trials, setbacks, and failures seem to define us.

How do we trust God day in and day out? When the odds are stacked against us? In the moments when we’re left wondering how we’ll ever get back up? The good news is a life of resilient faith is possible.

Alexandra Hoover offers encouraging words of hope and examples of unwavering faith from the Bible. Drawing inspiration from the examples of faith in Hebrews 11 and the early church, you’ll see that life’s challenges don’t have to define you. Through hope in Christ, you can become the woman who weathers the storms of life with renewed strength and confidence in who God is and who He says you are.

Dates: February 28 - March 30

This study empowers men to exercise the God-given dominion they were created for by giving them a Kingdom understanding, vision, and perspective on their identity and responsibilities along with practical steps on how to become a man who rules his world well.

Our culture has redefined manhood by emasculating men through a repositioning of the role. Men are portrayed as weak, self-serving, and unfocused. The Bible clearly communicates that man was created to exercise dominion over the various areas of his life, taking responsibility for himself and others entrusted to his care. When a man functions within the principles of biblical manhood, those around him benefit from his leadership and care.

Thursdays at 10:00 AM in Room B201 led by Ruth Brinly

Dates: January 11 – February 29

Jesus is coming again! The Bible predicted His First Coming with more than 300 prophecies, and the Bible predicts His Second Coming with three times that number of prophecies! The predominant theme of 1st Thessalonians is the Second Coming of Christ. Join Pastor Gary Hamrick as we look at what it means for us that Jesus is coming again.

Continuing with his theme from 1st Thessalonians, Paul writes 2nd Thessalonians a few months later about the Second Coming of Christ. He explains three things that will happen when Jesus comes or just prior to His Coming. This letter gives significant detail about the Antichrist as well as a warning about falling away from the faith. Join Pastor Gary today for part 3 of “What Does the Lord’s Return Mean?”
