Meet Your Bible” is a 6-week class that provides an overview of every book in the Bible. Weeks 1-3 summarize the epic sweep of the Bible’s entire story of God’s saving work, and trace how the Old Testament (the Hebrew Scriptures) launch God’s “big story” of redemption through law, history, poetry and prophecy. In the last 3 weeks we see how the New Testament carries on and completes God’s “big story” through letters, gospels and the vision of Revelation that carry the story to its triumphant completion

Fall Study | September 1, 8, 15, 22 | 9:30-11:30 am

Learn to live at peace with others (even when you disagree) by studying biblical stories of rivalries in Common Ground by Amberly Neese.

Whether it is in politics, the professional world, a party, or a pew, we face conflict every day. As discussions get more heated and social media is deluged with opinion-spewing, hurt feelings, and broken relationships, we need hope and practical tools to navigate the tumultuous waters and live at peace with everyone.

Fortunately, the Scriptures hold the key to living at peace despite our differences. In Common Ground, a four-week Bible study, Amberly Neese combines stories of sibling rivalries from the Bible with personal experience, humor, hope, and her love of God’s Word.*

Join online or in person for this 4-week study. Women will enjoy refreshments and a welcome plus video teaching as a large group, followed by small group discussion with the same leader each week. You’re sure to gain insight into scripture and also grow meaningful connections with other participants.
