GENESIS: Faith Put to the Test
A Study in the Life of Abraham
Focusing on Genesis 12-22
God calls an ordinary man living in a sinful world to leave everything he knows to travel to a land he’s never seen – and he goes! We’ll take a closer look at Abraham and see what happens to our faith when we trust God with abandon and ready obedience.

GENESIS: How God Shapes our Hearts
A Study in the Life of Joseph
Focusing on selected texts from Genesis 37-50
“In a world where faith is fading and integrity is rare, the life of Joseph shines like a star in the nitetime sky showing us that following God brings hope even in the worst of circumstances.” (from Joseph by Charles Swindoll) A study of the life of Joseph offers a little bit of everything! Joseph trusts and obeys God in the face of a dysfunctional family, extreme sibling rivalry, deception, murder, intrigue, temptation, false accusation, prison and power. Can God shape our hearts to trust him no matter what?

A Place of Quiet Rest: A Walk with God in the Psalms
Developing a Meaningful Daily Quiet Time
By Nancy Leigh DeMoss
Using a workbook designed by Nancy Leigh DeMoss, we’ll take a look at thirty of her favorite Psalms. Each Psalm study has 6 steps: prepare your heart; listen to God; what does the passage say?; what does the passage mean?; make the passage a part of your life; and respond to God. Nancy says “reading, studying, memorizing, meditating on and praying through the Psalms will help tutor you in a lifestyle of praise and worship.

Believing God, by Beth Moore
A ten week study we are expanding to 16 weeks.
A study that examines what it means to not only believe IN God, but to believe Him. Participants study the lives of Abraham and others from Hebrews 11 as examples of people who believed God. With workbook and accompanying videos.

The Life of Christ (part III)
Walk in our Savior’s footsteps as his ministry to the Jews in Galilee intensifies. We’ll pick up in January with the Parables about the Kingdom of God and progress as far as we can go, spending intimate time at the feet of Jesus. With workbook – in depth skills will be modeled and encouraged.

10 Keys for Unlocking the Bible, by Colin Smith
10 weeks*
This is great for women new to the Bible, Bible Study or faith! Colin Smith says “it isn’t your average Bible study. It’s a fast-moving, breath taking, high altitude fly over of the landscape of God’s Word. You’ll skim the peaks, dive into the valleys, and come away with an amazing overview of what the Bible really says, what it means and how it can fill your life with meaning and significance.”
(*since this study only takes 10 weeks, this group will be doing a modified version of the Psalms study for the balance of the semester)
