New Sunday Morning Bible Study! - Walking With God in the Desert is a seven-session Bible study that begins Sunday, October 10th, during the 9:15 a.m. Bible study class for adults and teens, in the auditorium. Filmed on location in Israel, this video-based Bible study features noted teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan.
Are you going through a difficult period of life? The loss of a loved one? Unemployment? A crisis of faith? During these desert times, it's easy to think God has disappeared. In Walking with God in the Desert you'll discover that it's only when we are totally dependent on Him that we find God is closer than ever and can experience His amazing grace and provision. Faith Lessons is a unique video series that brings God's Word to life with astounding relevance. By weaving together the Bible's fascinating historical, cultural, religious, and geographical contexts, Vander Laan reveals unique insights into the Scriptures' significance for modern believers.
Lessons Include:
October 10th: Join the Journey - Filmed in the Sanai desert
October 17th: It's Hot Here and There's No Way Out - Filmed in Wabi Nasb
October 24th: Help is Here - Filmed in Wadi Nasb
October 31st: When Your Heart Cries Out - Filmed in the Judea Wilderness
November 7th: They Were Not Wandering - Filmed on Mount Sinai
November 14th: Ears to Hear - Filmed in Negev
November 21st: There's Hope in the Desert - Filmed in En Gedi
Women’s Wednesday Morning Bible Study
All too often life falls short of our expectations. We face disappointments, disarrays, delays, and drawbacks. We want to be the kind of women who exude serene calmness, cheerfulness, and acceptance even in the midst of trials and difficult situations, but it is hard to do! Starting Wednesday, September 15th, at 10:00am, we will meet in the Gathering Room, and explore what the Bible says about true contentment, and how it is a skill to be learned. The study book we will use is entitled, “Pursuing Contentment”, by Christa Kinde. Together we will learn that old habits and patterns of thinking can be broken, and that we can choose to be grateful in all circumstances. Like the Apostle Paul we can say, “I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.” (Philippians 4:11) Together we will cultivate contentment in our hearts.For more information, contact Mary Sund at 763-233-2417, maryndaboys@live.com or Linda Krantz at 763-476-0587, HeyLindaMom@aol.com. We hope you will join us!
