Follow: Discover the Life of Jesus through the Gospel of Mark
Join us as we dive into a study on the most foundational question of our faith: Who is Jesus? In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus invites all kinds of people to follow Him.

Epic of Eden: Psalms
Sometimes we wonder how Old Testament books of the Bible, such as Psalms, apply to our lives today. In order to answer this question, we need to take a deeper look into what the book of Psalms is and how the Israelites used it in their worship. In this study, we will dive into Psalms and the book’s historical context to discover how we can connect the book of Psalms to our modern-day lives. Join us as Dr. Sandra Richter walks us through the Psalms and encounters them in a deeper, richer way.
When: Wednesdays, February 2-March 23
Time: 6:30-8 pm
Where: Room 146/148, Chapel Building
Price of Participant Book: $18

Job: When Pain is Great
Life is hard. Job is perhaps the most well-known Biblical person who knew suffering first-hand and demonstrated a deep faith in God throughout his trials. Job asked big questions about pain, suffering, and God’s sovereignty—and through his life, we can see how God is with us through everything.
