    MOMS: Making Our Mothering Significant
    Joshua — Every Good Promise Fulfilled

    by Jen Wilkin
    Teacher: Betty Farynyk | Room 240, in-person

    In our study of Joshua, we will learn how to seek the Lord, be strong and courageous, and rely on our mighty God for victory in the spiritual battles we face. As we see God’s continuing faithfulness to the people of Israel as they enter the Promised Land to receive their inheritance, our trust in the finished work of the true and better Joshua, Jesus, will grow. There will be many lessons that we can teach our children, too. Class time will include discussion, a video, prayer, fellowship, and connection with a Mentor Mom in the Titus 2 model.

    The Holy Spirit You May Not Know
    by Dr. David Jeremiah
    Teacher: Rometa Arrington | Room 226 & Zoom

    Do you desire to understand the Holy Spirit more clearly and experience His work more personally? In this study, we will discover clear biblical teaching on the person and work of the Holy Spirit and gain insight into the Spirit’s role in salvation, sanctification, and daily guidance. You’ll gain practical insights for walking in the Spirit each day.

    Isaiah: LifeChange Bible Study
    by Navigators
    Teacher: Jan Adams | Room 242 & Zoom

    Isaiah delivers a powerful call to trust and to follow the Lord faithfully. As we see the mistakes Judah made, we may at times feel as if we are looking in a mirror. Woven throughout warnings of judgment are beautiful promises of hope, restoration, and the Messiah, who alone can save. Join us for a discussion-based, two-semester study as Isaiah presents God in His glory, worthy of all our trust and worship.

    Women of Purpose:
    Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World

    by Joanna Weaver
    Teachers: Bonnie WIlliams & Angie Hyman | Room 227, in-person

    The life of a woman today isn’t really all that different from that of Mary and Martha in the New Testament. Like Mary, you long to sit at the Lord’s feet, but the daily demands of a busy world just won’t let you. Then comes Jesus, right into the midst of your busy Mary/Martha life, and He extends the same invitation he issued long ago to the two sisters of Bethany. Tenderly, He invites you to choose “the better part” — a joyful life of intimacy with him that naturally flows into service for Him.

    Ezekiel
    by Amir Tsarfati
    Teacher: MaryBeth Hohman | Zoom Only

    Regardless of your present circumstances or what’s happening today, Ezekiel extends the peace of knowing that in all situations, God is truly Lord over all. Exploring Ezekiel invites and equips you to be a proclaimer of God’s saving power and a watchman for the world to come.

    Life Principles for Worship from the Tabernacle 
    by Wayne Barber, Eddie Rasnake, Richard Shepher
    Teacher: Annie Isaac  | Room 234 & Zoom

    This study brings the ancient Tabernacle to life, unveiling its rich spiritual meaning and its connection to true worship. Through exploring the Tabernacle and its symbols, you will discover that God has always provided a way for people to approach and worship Him, ultimately pointing to Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of the “true Tabernacle” in Heaven. As you journey through this study, your worship of God will be deepened, your understanding of Christ and your identity in Him will grow, and you will be encouraged toward a stronger and more faithful daily walk with God.

    Fundamentals of Faith
    by John MacArthur

    Worry Free Living
    by Juanita Percell
    Teacher: Mary Beth Hohman  |  ZOOM ONLY

    Paul wrote, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6).

    Worry has a way of working its way into our hearts and minds, creating fear, and making us worry-warts. This ought not be! In our summer study, we’ll discover what constitutes worry, where worry can take you, two cures for worry, and a biblical plan of action to overcome worry. You can enjoy worry-free living — join us!

    • Register for this class by emailing MaryBeth Fehr at mbfehr7@gmail.com. Include your name, address, and phone number. She will email you the Zoom link.
