Expecting Christ’s Return:
1 & 2 Thessalonians
In his letters to the Thessalonian church, Paul commends believers for their steadfast faith before a watching world. In this study, we will be encouraged, along with the Thessalonians, to grow in faith, love, holiness, and hope; and to live in a way that pleases God while waiting for the promised return of the Lord.

Jude:
Contending for the Faith in Today’s Culture
Jude is a short yet powerful book tucked between 3rd John and Revelation. Together, we will unpack this complex book verse by verse over the course of 7 weeks, using Jackie Hill Perry's guide, "Jude: Contending for the Faith in Foday's Culture." Each week consists of 4 days of homework, and then we will meet to discuss and watch a short video of Jackie teaching on the next set of verses.
As Jackie says in her intro, "Jude's letter will not only teach you about God's mercy through Jesus Christ, it will also challenge you to be merciful. It won't just provide wisdom on how to love those who are falling, but it will also instruct you how to remain standing...This letter is hard to understand with themes that are quite uncomfortable at times, but I'm grateful for it...The truth might hurt sometimes, but it's what sets us free."

The Armor of God
This is a women’s Bible study that equips believers to recognize and stand firm against the spiritual battles we face every day. Through Scripture, especially Ephesians 6:10-19, Priscila Shirer explains each piece of God’s armor and shows how to apply it practically in our lives.
The study encourages women to deepen their prayer lives, stay alert to the enemy’s strategies, and walk confidently in the strength and protection God provides. It’s a powerful and practical guide for living with victory and purpose in Christ.

The Marriage Builder
Larry Crabb offers a biblical view of marriage: the "one-flesh" relationship. He argues convincingly that the deepest needs of human personality, security and significance, ultimately cannot be satisfied by a marriage partner. We need to turn to the Lord, rather than our spouse, to satisfy our needs. This frees both partners for "soul oneness," a commitment to minister to our spouse's needs rather than manipulating them to meet our own needs. With "soul oneness" comes renewed "body oneness," where couples enjoy sexual pleasure as an expression and outgrowth of a personal relationship. We will discuss the book and Scriptural references that support his thesis.

Help Is Here
The Holy Spirit, the most misunderstood, misrepresented member of the Trinity, and yet, before Jesus ascended into heaven, he told his disciples not to leave Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit had come upon them. The promise was that they would receive power from on high. Who doesn’t want that? Who doesn’t need that?
Let Max Lucado walk you through the amazing Scriptures that describe the wonder, promise, and power of the Holy Spirit, who is available and so necessary for each and every one of us who follow Jesus.

Spring Studies
Everyday Theology: What You Believe Matters
Our theology shapes our lives. What we believe about God and His work in the world is reflected in the way we think, the things we give our time to, how we relate to the world around us, and how we process the ups and downs of life.
In this study, we will delve into the essential doctrines of the faith to understand how the foundations of our faith matter and how knowing and aligning our lives with them helps us to know, love, and joyfully obey our great God every day.

Faith:
A Bible Study on James for Women
This is a 10-week study on the book of James. We will follow the OIA method. We will OBSERVE what the text is saying, INTERPRET what it meant to the original hearers, and then APPLY it to our own lives. There are 5 days of homework per week, and each day takes about 20-25 minutes to complete.

God of Creation:
A Study of Genesis 1-11
The opening 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.
Over 10 sessions of verse-by-verse study, dive into Genesis 1-11 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.

Transforming Grace
While many accept grace for initial salvation, they mistakenly base their daily Christian life on performance and "good works.” Bridges asserts that this keeps believers on a "performance treadmill" instead of allowing them to live in the freedom of God's grace. We will discuss what grace is and how to live it out practically in our lives.
