Throughout the year, we offer mid-week Bible studies for men and women from every age and stage of life. Our studies range in difficulty and outside time commitment.

Meeting regularly for teaching, accountability, and friendship builds our personal commitment to follow Jesus passionately, connects us in mutual community, and makes us into committed disciples.

Thursdays

Men’s Bible Study | God is the Gospel, by John Piper

THURSDAY MORNINGS | 6:00 AM | IN ROOM 213

NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED!

Led by Christian Blumenfeld
In this class, we will explore one of the most profound and often overlooked truths of the Christian faith: that the ultimate good of the gospel is not merely forgiveness, justification, or eternal life, but God Himself. In God is the Gospel, John Piper presses us to reconsider what we truly mean by “good news.” If the gospel only brings us benefits, but not God, it is incomplete. The central claim we will examine is that the gospel is only truly good news because it brings us into the presence of God as our highest joy and final treasure.

This shifts our understanding of the gospel from being merely a means to an end, to being the revelation of the greatest end itself—God. Through Scripture and careful reflection, we will see that every aspect of salvation finds its purpose in this: that we might see, know, and savor God in Jesus Christ. As we move through this study, our aim is not only to understand the gospel more clearly, but to treasure it more deeply—because in it, we are given not just rescue from sin, but God Himself as our everlasting reward.

Fridays

Co-ed Bible Study | Precepts Study of Psalms

BI-WEEKLY, FRIDAY MORNINGS | 10:30 AM | IN ROOM 214

Led by David Marvel // REGISTRATION FOR THIS CLASS IS CLOSED

PART ONE (5 lessons): Through Psalms we learn about God—His attributes, what pleases and displeases Him, His relationship to the righteous and the wicked, and His revelation of the future concerning Messiah, salvation, and judgment. In Psalms 1–22, we learn how blessed we are who are in right relationship to Him, that we respond to Him in worship.

SCHEDULE: 1/9 (lesson 1), 1/23 (lesson 2), 2/6 (lesson 3), 2/20 (lesson 4), 3/6 (lesson 5)

PART TWO (4 lessons): There is much to be learned from the Psalms about the Lord and our relationship with Him. In Psalms 23–41, we learn about waiting on the Lord and worshiping Him, about righteousness and the fear of the Lord, and about dealing with sin. You’ll practice a pattern for studying the Psalms, so that you can continue to study them on your own.

SCHEDULE: 3/20 (lesson 1), 4/3 (lesson 2), 4/17 (lesson 3), 5/1 (lesson 4)
