Our desire is for every member to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” and to walk in the Word daily (2 Peter 3:18). One way we do this is through Bible study. We have men’s, women’s, and co-ed Bible study groups that meet at various times and locations.
This is a secret message: God loves you.
Spring 2022 | Acts: A Kingdom on the Move
Our spring bible study will dive into the book of Acts. In John 4:16-17, Jesus said he would, “ask the Father to send another Counselor to be with you forever—the Spirit of truth.” In Acts, we see how that promise was fulfilled. Our study will explore Luke’s record of the early years of the Church and how the work of Christ through the Holy Spirit continues today.
STUDY RESOURCES
- Women’s groups will be using Acts: The Church the Trinity Built, by George Robertson and Mary Beth McGreevy.
- Men’s groups will be using Acts: Seeing the Spirit at Work, by John Stott.
