The Non-Prophet’s Guide to the End Times by Todd Hampson
Tuesday Mornings
Do you tend to avoid studying books of the Bible like Revelation and Ezekiel? Does it feel like words such as rapture and apocalypse fly right over your head? It's common to dismiss these and other topics related to Bible prophecy as irrelevant and...well...too complicated.
But God's Word says, "Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near" (Revelation 1:3).
Prepare to be blessed in an entertaining and meaningful way! The Non-Prophet's Guide to the End Times combines engaging illustrations with down-to-earth explanations to help you navigate the ins and outs of Bible prophecy. There's no better time to grasp God's plans for the future-and for you-than this very moment.
Starts: January 14, 9:15am-11am, Fireside Room
Book: approx $15 (available at first session) Childcare: Available, registration required

What is the Gospel? by Greg Gilbert
Thursday Evenings
What is the gospel? It seems like a simple question, yet it has been known to incite some heated responses, even in the church. How are we to formulate a clear, biblical understanding of the gospel? Tradition, reason, and experience all leave us ultimately disappointed. If we want answers, we must turn to the Word of God.
Greg Gilbert does so in What Is the Gospel? Beginning with Paul's systematic presentation of the gospel in Romans and moving through the sermons in Acts, Gilbert argues that the central structure of the gospel consists of four main subjects: God, man, Christ, and a response. The book carefully examines each and then explores the effects the gospel can have in individuals, churches, and the world. Both Christian and non-Christian readers will gain a clearer understanding of the gospel in this valuable resource.

The Following Studies are not starting something new but would welcome newcomers as they continue on in their studies:
The Real God by Chip Ingram
Tuesday Mornings
Who is God, really? Often our distorted view of God is at the root of all our problems. The gods we've created in our minds only fairly resemble the God of Scripture. These mental idols comfort our emotions, but they are powerless to deliver us from evil or transform our lives. The 8 session video-based Bible study will help you dig into Scripture to change the way you think about God, yourself, and others.
Starts: September 10, 9:15am-11:15am, Fireside Room; meet weekly with some breaks
Book: $12 (available at first session) Childcare: Available, registration required
