Sermon On The Mount – Jen Wilkin

Posted on by Cindy

In His sweeping depiction of kingdom citizenship, Jesus utters some of the most familiar passages in all of Scripture. Most of us have only encountered the Sermon on the Mount in fragments, considering its subdivisions as complete teachings in their own right—a study on blessedness; a reflection on the Lord’s Prayer; a discussion of religious devotion, money, ambition, and relationships.

What if we navigated these three chapters in Matthew as they were originally heard? What if we read them as one cohesive, well-ordered message, intended to challenge us to think differently about what it means to be a follower of Jesus?

This 9-session Bible study will give you the opportunity to do just that. Come and learn from Jesus, just as His disciples did. First released in 2014, this study is now updated with new teaching videos from Jen Wilkin.

Studies in Galatians

Posted on by Cindy

Join us on Sunday evenings!

Many in today’s world misunderstand the nature of the gospel. Even people who attend church often view salvation simply as adherence to the Ten Commandments. In his book The Shape of Faith to Come, Brad Waggoner reported that of those surveyed, 66 percent believed that a person had to continually work toward salvation or risk losing it. At the same time, church attenders appear to be selective when it comes to which Commandments they follow. Their righteousness is relative — many believe that any sin that doesn’t appear to impact others or is permissible in a court of law can be overlooked. Paul covered these topics in his letter to the Galatians. Their church was beginning to accept a false gospel, on that included adherence to the Mosaic law. Paul addressed the issue, defining salvation as God’s grace realized through faith. But he also balanced his presentation of salvation by grace with a reminder that liberty doesn’t give license.

Better – A Study of Hebrews

Posted on by Cindy

In this verse-by-verse study of the Book of Hebrews, Jen Wilkin explores how God “provided something better for us” in the person of Jesus Christ (Heb. 11:40). Through stories of Old Testament heroes and practices, the author of Hebrews demonstrates how the new covenant is superior to the old and how Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of every promise. Explore familiar verses in context of the entire Bible, learning how to place your hope and faith in Christ alone.

Join us on Tuesdays, from 9-11AM in the Family Life Center. Linda F. will lead this 20-week Bible study!

First Place | New Session

Posted on by Cindy

In Beyond Free, we’ll study the power of obedience and what holds us in the chains of defeat. Galatians 5:1 offers a past-tense promise with a present tense punch. Jesus set us free, so we could live in freedom…now.  It says we must stand our ground, and not be burdened again by any form of slavery.

In this study, we’ll study and pray, binding ourselves to two staunch beliefs. First, freedom is real because Jesus offered it. He wouldn’t have teased us with it if it weren’t true. Second, freedom is neither perfection nor permission.
