Lament: A Sacred Sorrow

Wednesdays, Jan 7-Feb 11 | 6:30-8pm | Adults  Rm 110 | Led by: Lisan Smith

In this study, based upon Michael Card's book, A  Sacred Sorrow,  we will examine the ancient practice  of lament, which teaches us to turn to God in our  pain, express our complaints, ask for mercy, and  trust His character. Mark Vroegop writes, "Lament is  how we live between the poles of a hard life and  trusting in God's sovereignty." Join us as we  consider lament in the Scriptures and how it  deepens our connection to our God of mercy.

Precept

Thursdays, Jan 15-Apr 16 | 6:30-8:30pm -or- Fridays, Jan 16-Apr 17 | 9-11am
Adults | Zoom | Led by: Pam Bloom

How does God deal with those who turn away from  Him? Can God sustain you when you live in a nation  of religious and political decline? Can God keep you  when your own life is a combination of “the good,  the bad, and the ugly"? This study focuses on  Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah, while also  referencing back to II Kings and II Chronicles.

Practicing the King's Economy

Tuesdays, Feb 10-Mar 24 | 6-8pm | Adults | Rm 109 | Led by: Lisa Sheltra

We need a different framework for thinking about  our lives as citizens in God's Kingdom. This study  cuts through the confusion and invites Christians to  take their place within the biblical story of the "King  Jesus Economy". Through true stories of economic  discipleship in action and six key biblical themes, the  authors offer practical ways to earn, invest, spend,  compensate, save, share, and give in ways that  embody God's love and provision for the world.

Sundays, Mar 22-May 3 | 9-10:15am | Adults | Rm 109 | Led by: Crystal Hogue

Jesus makes seven I AM statements in John’s Gospel  that give insight into who he is and what he came to  do. In each, Jesus makes an implicit claim to be one  in essence with the God of Israel. Jesus shows us his  character and teaches us of his nature. He asks us to  believe in him and trust that he is who he says he is.  Join us & get better acquainted with the great I AM.
