    What makes a life meaningful? How does one find purpose in life? In this study, we will consider Solomon, who was described as the wisest man on earth.

    Genesis is a book about beginnings. In the beginning, God created the heavens, the earth, plants and animals, men and women. All is good! Yet paradise is lost, and God begins His plan of restoration and redemption for humanity and creation. This study will also consider the patriarchal stories that grapple with some of our deepest questions. We will use the Navigator Genesis (LifeChange) study guides. These are available on Amazon and in the Word Room at a discount. Come and be blessed as we study the book of Genesis!

    Seeing Christ in Ezekiel
    Dr. Terrill Nelson & Phil Comstock
    Room 242 & Zoom

    Ezekiel was a young priest in Jerusalem when he was carried away from Jerusalem as a POW. Taken by the Babylonians into the internment camps in Mesopotamia, his world was in turmoil. God called Ezekiel to preach among unrepentant Jewish exiles who had stubbornly refused to accept responsibility for their national sin. Come read about Ezekiel’s bizarre visions, strange object lessons, and mysterious teachings. We’ll study how God used Ezekiel to speak to Israel and learn how we can apply the book’s rich theological truths today. The study guide, Exalting Christ in Ezekiel, is $15.

    2024 Bible Reading Plan
    Join us daily on our walk 
    through the Bible — Year 2

    At Calvary, preaching and teaching the Word of God is central to who we are as a church family, and it is essential that each one of us spends time reading the Bible every day.

    In 2024, we'll continue the TWO-YEAR Bible reading plan we began in 2023! This reading plan is a great option if you've always wanted to read the entire Bible straight through. We'll continue in Psalms and the poetic books, and then we'll read the major and minor prophets. This summer, we'll read the Gospels and continue through the New Testament!

    Download the 2024 PDF below. Or stop by the Welcome Desk in the Galleria to pick up a print copy to keep in your Bible.
