CLASS OPTIONS

Christian Basics

The Gospel of Mark (Prayer Meeting)

When John Mark wrote his "good news" about Jesus two thousand years ago, his Gospel was a completely new kind of book. No one had ever written one before. In fact, no one would have known what a Gospel was... What made the Gospel of Mark unique was this: it was not written merely as the memoir of Jesus as a great man, not even as the greatest man who had ever lived. Rather, it was meant to persuade its readers that Jesus was the Son of God.... Who is Jesus of Nazareth? What is the good news (gospel) about him? These questions and more are answered in this study.

Spiritual Growth & Development

God's Plan in Chronic Illness by Lisa Copen

Chronic illness is difficult. There is no question whether you have a deep relationship with God or are just beginning to search for answers from Him, chronic illness can send you reeling into asking"where is God when it hurts?" and "why do I have this illness?" This Bible study is equipped to apply those big questions to the day-to-day emotions that you may be experiencing while you learn to live with this "new normal" of daily chronic pain, loneliness, wondering what happened to all of your friends, and just learning to cope with exhaustion and fatigue.

WOMEN'S DISCIPLESHIP UNIVERSITY STUDIES

So Long Insecurity: You've Been a Bad Friend to Us by Beth Moore

Beth's passion to see God free women from their insecurities and fears evolved into an online survey of more than 950 women and 150 men that ultimately resulted in the publication of this book. Partly autobiographical in nature, Beth uses stories, prayers and practical ideas to nudge women out of insecurity and into knowledge of their God-given dignity. No matter your age or status, you can learn to battle insecurity with God's truth.

Jonah: Navigating a Life Interruped by Priscilla Shirer

What do we do when God interrupts our lives? Many times, like Jonah, we run! In this 7-session Bible study, Priscilla redefines interruption and shows that interruption is actually God's invitation to do something beyond our wildest dreams. When Jonah was willing to allow God to interrupt his life, the result was revival in an entire city.
