Current
Study: "Living out God's Purpose (A Study of
Ephesians)"
God
has a great plan and purpose for His creation. God's
plan and purpose is accomplished and realized in
Jesus Christ. What does this really mean for the
Christian? How does the Christian live out God's
purpose for his/her life? We will consider these
questions, and others, as we study the book of Ephesians.
While the book of Ephesians is directed to Christian
believers, this study will also help inquirers and
seekers learn more about God and the Christian life.

Previous Study: "A
Christian's Journey (The Life of Paul)"
Life
is a journey for all of us. Pauls journey was
unique. It was one mans Christian journey.
However, each Christians journey is similar
in many ways, and we can learn much from Pauls
life. How did Paul become a Christian, know Gods
will, share his faith, face opposition, deal with
suffering, find fulfillment, etc.? As we consider
Pauls journey, we will see how it relates to
our journey. I trust this study will equip and encourage
Christians in their own journeys, and also help non-Christians
understand how the Christian journey is different.

Previous Study: God's Will for His People
This
summer, our Bible study series is entitled "God's
Will for His People." People generally believe
there is a right way to live and behave. But how do
we know? And how can we do it? God has given His people
instructions on how to live, and He has given them
the resources to do it! What are God's instructions?
How do they apply to our daily lives? That is what
we are discussing. We are using the "Ten Commandments"
as a general outline for our study. This study is
informative, challenging, and practical. Please join
us.

Previous Study: Being A Christian in the Modern
World
(A Study of 1 Corinthians)
First
century Corinthian culture was influenced by the values
of status, occupation, education, knowledge, wealth,
luxury and pleasure; which promoted attitudes of self-advancement
and self-indulgence. Corinth was a cultural melting
pot of different religions and moral standards. This
sounds like the modern world, especially cosmopolitan
and university communities. Thus Paul's letter to the
Corinthians is very applicable to us today. How are
Christians to live in the modern world? Our study of
1 Corinthians will help answer that crucial question.

"What Did Jesus Say?" (about
...)
A
Bible Study entitled "What Did Jesus Say?"
What did Jesus
say about himself, God, humanity, truth, meaning, purpose,
discipleship, relationship,morality,
religion, salvation, fulfillment and the future? When Jesus
spoke, people listened, because he taught with amazing authority.
Jesus' words still speak! So let us listen and learn together,
and find practical application for today's world and our
own lives. You can view each weekly lesson by opening the

Week in a Christian's Life"
This study was a study previously lead by Jay
Lester:
In
this study, we will consider the beliefs, practices and activities
of a Christian during a typical week. We will also see how
a Christian faces the challenges, worries, disappointments
and sufferings of this life. This discussion-oriented study
should provide useful information on Christian belief and
practice, and offer practical guidance for daily Christian
living.
