We will use Lysa Terkeurst’s Finding I Am: How Jesus Fully Satisfies the Cry of Your Heart to explore Jesus’ I AM statements that are found in the Gospel of John. What is the deep cry of your heart?

Many of the controversies in the Church today can trace their roots back to Biblical interpretation. What does it mean to take the Bible seriously? Does it mean you have to take it literally? Join Laura Echols-Richter for this 3-week discussion about the Bible and how can it be an essential tool for living a life of faith. We will use resources provided in the Atlas.

The Rewritten Life is a study developed by Jessica LaGrone that examines how our lives can be transformed through our relationship with God. It explores the transformed lives of persons like Abraham, Sarah, Jacob, Naomi, Daniel, and Peter. Their stories were rewritten giving them new names and identities. God wants us to rewrite our stories so that we may realize our fullest potential. Marian Schulze will lead this study. Participant books are $10. Register on-line or e-mail [email protected]. Childcare is available with advance reservation.

OR Fridays, Noon – 1:30pm | Rm 216 | Begins Oct 27th
This study will focus on selected content from the Book of Numbers. The core of the book has little to do with math. It is about the Exodus journey of wandering in the wilderness. It prompts complex questions about our relationship with God and scripture. The class will be facilitated by Bill D. Ball, Jr. Please register in advance to receive the reading materials.
