Wednesdays 10am
Esther by Kelly Minter
Wednesdays 10am-12pm • starts August 20
Books $20 • E213 • led by Dee Yarbrough & Kathy ParkerA beautiful queen, her courageous cousin, a foreign land, and a murderous adversary—the book of Esther has all the elements of an epic drama. The story unfolds at a time when the people of God are split between nations with an uncertain future. While the name of God may not be mentioned in the book of Esther, its pages highlight His work among His people and foreshadow Jesus’s very ministry to us—darkness to light, mourning to celebration, death to life.
Luke in the Land by Kristi Mclelland
Wednesdays 10am-12pm • October 8-November 19
Books $22 • E213 • led by Dee Yarbrough & Kathy ParkerIn our Bibles, we have four Gospels describing Jesus’s time on earth: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The land of Israel—the place Jesus walked and taught during His earthly ministry—is often referred to as the “fifth Gospel.” Follow Kristi McLelland through Israel as we study snapshots from the Gospel of Luke to see where the stories of the Bible took place. Over 7 sessions, challenge the way you read the accounts of Jesus through teaching videos that take you to locations in Israel like Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and the road to Emmaus. Along the way, you’ll see how Jesus, the Messiah, brought His kingdom to earth for everybody.
Behold the Savior by Lifeway Women
Wednesdays 10am-12pm • December 3-17
Books $17 • E213 • led by Dee Yarbrough & Kathy Parker
**Participants will need to be prepared to discuss the first TWO weeks at the first day of class**“Look, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” – Luke 2:10b Behold the Savior is an invitation to slow down and refocus our hearts on Jesus this Advent season, making space to receive the greatest gift of all. Through this 4-week study written by a team of women, you’ll take a slow walk through the first two chapters of Luke verse by verse. You’ll reflect on the significant people and events found in these chapters, celebrating the first Advent and looking forward to Jesus’s return. You’ll learn to treasure and meditate on the wonder of the Christmas story and the glorious moment when heaven came to earth through the birth of Jesus our Savior.
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.
