This amazing study brings you face to face with the long awaited Jewish Messiah, Jesus Christ.

GOD IS ENOUGH

LET’S GET TOGETHER!

This year’s theme, God is Enough, communicates hope and strength in today’s world, yet may also bring challenges when we try to put it into practice. God is enough. This is our year to claim it fully. From our opening day until we finish in May, we are going to focus our time on the Word of God and find woven within its pages the fact that He truly is all we need. Believe it. Personalize it. Grow. Encourage others in it. Take for yourself all God has to offer and let Him do a wonderful work in and through you.

In Him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God

lives by His Spirit.

Ephesians 2:22

STUDIES FOR OUR WINTER TERM

The new year brings with it a new routine! This session, from Jan 10 - May 9, you have three wonderful study options to choose from. Find the one that best meets your need to grow and serve

then join us weekly for worship, devotion time and on to small group discussion.

PRECEPT UPON PRECEPT: ACTS (Chapters 1 - 12)

As we study chapters 1-12, you will learn how the Gospel was spread through the apostles who tesified through the power of the Holy Spirit. After Jesus’ ascension to heaven, the author Luke records what happens in the early days of the church. Be encouraged by the results of the faithful servants holding forth the truth in a dark world. See how the church grows numerically, geographically, and culturally.

CHILDREN OF THE DAY: 1 & 2 Thessalonians by Beth Moore

Lace up your sandals and walk with us through the dusty streets of Thessalonica. Our study of these two books will be full of encouragement to the fact that whatever your circumstances, they are not accidental - God’s timing and purpose is perfect for you. Be encouraged knowing you are exactly where Christ wants you to be, in a position to draw close and learn of Him.

SERMON ON THE MOUNTby Jen Wilkin

The Sermon on the Mount contains some of the most familiar passages found in the Bible. Most of us have studied bits and pices of it, but this year we’ll be taking a look at these chapters in Matthew as one cohesive, well-ordered message. It will challenge us to think differently about what it means to be a follower of Jesus, a child of God, and one who has been given a heavenly home. We have an opportunity to learn from Jesus, just as His disciples did.

FALL SESSIONSeptember 20 - December 13, 2016

BECOMING A WOMAN WHOSE GOD IS ENOUGHby Cynthia Heald9 - 11:15am

We all want genuine contentment but so few seem to find it. Perhaps it’s partly due to the fact that we don’t know our God nearly well enough. This study reminds us that He wants to bless us with His fullness and teach us to depend on Him completely. We will learn the importance of turning away from things of the world to the Lord Himself, from selfishness to humility, from unbelief to a deeper trust and walk with God. No matter where you are in life, God is ready to meet you there and reveal HImself to you so that you might indeed, be a woman whose God is enough.
