Bible Studies
Ladies Bible StudyThe Ladies' Bible Study meets at the church on Tuesday mornings from 10:00 to 11:30. For our study for the Fall, Winter, and Spring Quarters, September 2017 - May 2018, we will be using the book The Wisdom of God: Seeing Jesus in the Psalms and Wisdom Books by Nancy Guthrie. This is a follow-up to our studies from the last three years, which were excellent and enjoyed by the ladies who attended. Nursery is provided. The Bible Study dates for the Fall and Winter quarters are September 12 & 26; October 3, 17, & 31; November 7 & 21; December 5 & 19. Come join us for a time of Bible study, fellowship, and prayer.

Click on the highlighted links below for Bible Study Notes:Hebrews Theme: 1Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.…1Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it….3For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself....22This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant….25Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them….23Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful….1Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen….1Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 1:1-3; 2:1; 3:3; 7:22, 25; 10:23; 11:1; 12:1-2 ESV).
