“In the pages of the Gospel of John, we can slow down and savor the peace of Jesus in a chaotic world.  When we look at the pace of Jesus during His early life and ministry, we realize the need to slow down and soak up His presence.  Yet in our culture teeming with noise, screens, and busy schedules, we can fail to embrace the gift of peace Jesus promised.  As you turn the pages of John’s Gospel, you’ll be challenged to take on the posture of a learner – understanding that the peace Jesus offers is not an ease of circumstances but a stillness of the soul.”   Author, Melissa Spoelstra

For this study we will go directly to the Book of Nahum in the Bible!

This will be a short 3 session study, but we will learn much from this little minor prophet book of the Bible.   We will look at Nahum, the prophet who wrote the book, the background of this book in God’s history of Israel and how God carried out His plans.  Does the book apply to us today? YES, and we will explore that aspect also.

3 Sessions, 10/31 – 11/14/24
No cost.

“While being thrown in prison may be cause for despair, for the apostle Paul it was a cause for joy. Why? Because through it all the Philippians had walked in partnership with him. Rather than feel abandoned, Paul felt supported. Rather than feel useless, Paul redeemed the opportunity. Through their financial gift, the Philippians participated in Paul’s ministry and shared in his imprisonment. And for that, Paul and the Philippians had reason to rejoice. As we study Philippians, we too will learn of the joy of partnership for the sake of the gospel, anchor our joy in Christ instead of passing pleasures of the day, rejoice in the Lord in every circumstance,
learn to treasure Christ above all else, as well as other key benefits of this study!”   Author, Juan Sanchez

“The single most important fact of the Christian faith is that Jesus isn’t dead. He was resurrected on a Sunday morning two thousand years ago. That one weekend included His execution, an earthquake, daytime darkness, an uprising, and a miracle unlike any the world had ever seen.
Those events and the days that followed changed everything about the world and form the center of our faith. Yet outside of a few days each year, we don’t spend a lot of time contemplating the resurrection itself.  We’ll look back on that incredible weekend and see why the resurrection of Jesus gives us hope and confidence today.”  Author, Jeremiah Johnston

“In a world where we find people creating God in their own image, studying God’s names can remind us that we are created in His. In fact, one of the best ways to know God’s true character and grow closer to Him is to study His names.  Whether having walked with God for many years or just starting out in a relationship with Him, by the end of this study, we will not only know more about God but will know Him better―because through the discovery of God’s names, we will discover Him!”
