Tuesdays 12pm
Colossians: Fullness of Life in Christ
Chat n Chew • Tuesdays 12pm-1pm • E210
Women of the Word • Tuesdays 2:15pm • E210
January 6-March 10
Books $9 • M131/132 • led by Caren CummingsChrist is the ruler of all things and sufficient for our every need. While Christians profess these truths, they sometimes struggle to apply this knowledge to their everyday lives. Thankfully, the book of Colossians offers a practical guideline, exalting Christ as the Lord of everything and showing believers how they share in his life, death, and resurrection in their lives now and for all eternity. This 10-week Bible study for women explores Colossians verse by verse to help readers understand how the Christian life is meant to be lived through the risen Lord Jesus Christ. Written for individuals or groups, author Lydia Brownback provides conversational teaching, practical application questions, and additional recommended resources to help women live Christ-centered lives focused on the hope of the gospel and the person of Jesus Christ.

Wednesdays 10am
Revelation by Jen Wilkin
Wednesdays 10am-12pm • January 7-March 11
Books $22 • E213 • led by Dee Yarbrough & Kathy ParkerPerhaps no other book of the Bible feels as inaccessible and as intimidating to us as the very last one. The book of Revelation overflows with images and ideas that confound our modern ears. But if all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable, we should assume Revelation is as accessible and helpful as any other book of the Bible. Why don’t we see it that way? Two thousand years ago, John’s Revelation was circulated and read aloud among seven churches in Asia Minor. Those who heard the letter understood it and drew encouragement from its message. The same can be true for you today. Over 10 sessions of verse-by-verse Bible study, Jen Wilkin helps you discover how the last book of the Bible—the culmination of God’s great story—speaks both a steadying word of assurance and a strong call to endure to the church in every age.
Easter: Behold Your King by Lifeway
Wednesdays 10am-12pm • March 18-April 8
Books $13• E213 • led by Dee Yarbrough & Kathy ParkerThe Easter season is full of joy, celebration, and life. It’s so easy to get swept up in the busyness of plays and pastels that we sometimes forget to stand in awe of Jesus this time of year. Easter: Behold Your King is a thoughtful look at the Easter season, focusing on the events and deeper theological meaning of the Passion Week. Diving into topics like: Old Testament prophecy that connects to Jesus as the Messiah, the significance of the events of Palm Sunday through the silence of Holy Saturday, and Jesus’ appearances after His resurrection, this study will not only help the reader understand how beautifully deep Christ’s sacrifice for us was, but also how to live in light of these life-giving truths. This resource will also include Easter activities to help kids, students, and adults celebrate the season together.
Proverbs the Way of Wisdom by Lifeway
Wednesdays 10am-12pm • April 15-June 3
Books $22• E213 • led by Dee Yarbrough & Kathy ParkerThe book of Proverbs describes godly wisdom as a path that leads to life and flourishing. It also warns of the folly of worldly wisdom as a path that leads to the grave. Every day we face the choice between the true riches of God’s instruction or the fool’s gold of earthly pleasures and pursuits. How often do we call to mind the wisdom found in the sayings of Proverbs to shed light on the path before us? How relevant do we even believe these ancient words are to our modern world? In The Way of Wisdom – Bible Study Book, Bible teachers Jen Wilkin, Ruth Chou Simons, Kelly Minter, Adrienne Camp, Elizabeth Woodson, and Courtney Doctor invite you to place your feet firmly on the path of life revealed in the book of Proverbs. As you consider wisdom principles on everyday topics like words, work, friendship, marriage, parenting, neighborliness, money management, leadership influence, and more, you’ll discover the wisdom of Proverbs as an invitation to steadily walk God’s way in God’s world.

Luke In The Land by Kristi McLelland

Book $25 • M131/132 • led by Angela HowertonThe four written Gospels describe Jesus’s time on earth: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

The land speaks in its own way and reveals deeper understanding to the life of Christ. Through seven session revealing snapshots from the Gospel of Luke, join Kristi McLelland to explore the fifth Gospel together. Challenge the way you read the accounts of Jesus in video teaching sessions that take you to locations in Israel like Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and the road to Emmaus.
