Disciple and other Bible Study
DISCIPLE Bible Studies - The purpose of the four DISCIPLE Bible Studies is to develop strong Christian disciples through regular in-depth study of Scripture. The groups will meet weekly for 2 hours. Through daily readings, class attendance and participation, video lessons by Christian scholars, and engaging dialogue, participants will grow in their faith and knowledge of the Bible.
Disciple making and Christian nurturing are the goals of DISCIPLE. This study will cover the entire Bible - Genesis to Revelation. It lays the foundation for transforming Bible study. Persons who have completed DISCIPLE I may then proceed to a DISCIPLE II, III, IV in no particular order.
"If you make my word your home you will
indeed be my disciples." John 8:31

The following is a description of each DISCIPLE Bible Study -
Disciple I (“Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study”) is an overview of the Bible. The purpose of Disciple is to develop strong Christian leaders through regular in-depth study of Scripture.
Disciple II (Into the Word, Into the World) reviews Genesis, Exodus, Luke and Acts. This study builds on the biblical knowledge gained through Disciple I and deepens biblical understanding by probing selected portions of Scripture.
Disciple III (Remember Who You Are) covers
the Old Testament and the letters of Paul. The prophets and Paul are continually calling their hearers and readers back to their God and to a sense of who they are as a “set apart” people.
Disciple IV (Under the Tree of Life) concentrates on the Old Testament writings and some scriptures from the New Testament including John, James, Jude and Revelation.
The following is a description of other Bible Studies -
Jesus in the Gospels: Study the names, places, and
people and encounter the Jesus who is both hard to ignore and hard to control. An attractive, commanding, morally compelling figure as portrayed in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Women's Bible Study
Join Rev. Janice Sudbrink,
Rev. Claire Hoffman
and Connie Adrion
in this encouraging
7 week study based on the book
“esther
it's tough being a woman ”
by Beth Moore.
If youv've ever felt inadequate, threatened, or pushed into situations that seemed overpowering, this is the study for you. Just as it was tough being a woman in Esther's day, it's tough today. Beth peels back the layers of history and shows how very contemporary and applicable the story of Esther is to our lives. This porton of God's Word contains treasures to aid us in our hurried, harried, and pressured lives.
