Men's Thursday Morning Bible Study
Ten Men of the Bible: How God Used Imperfect People to Change the World
September 25-October 30 | Thursdays, 10:00-11:30 am | Bethel 210
The men depicted in the Bible were not perfect by any means. We find story after story marked by scandal, failure, and intrigue. Yet we also find many stories of men who were able to look beyond their circumstances, completely trust in the Lord, and follow Him wherever He chose to them. Like us, these men made both good and bad decisions along the way—and experienced both good and bad consequences—and we find our struggles and hopes in the pages of the Bible that tells their stories.
In this study led by Pastor Reggie, Max Lucado tells some of his favorite stories of these men in the Bible. Each session includes five insights on each character and Bible study questions to help you delve into the stories and apply them to your life. Over a six week period, we will engage six of these intriguing men: Noah, Moses, David, Joseph, Peter, and Paul.
Men's Monday Evening Bible Study
A new six week Bible study for Men will be meeting on Monday evenings beginning October 6. The group will meet from 6:30-8:00 pm in the Bethel building, room 107. The class will not meet October 27. We will be reading “John - The Gospel of Light and Life” by Adam Hamilton.
Adam Hamilton is the senior pastor at The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection, in the Greater Kansas City area, one of the fastest growing, most highly visible churches in the country. The Church Report named Hamilton's congregation the most influential mainline church in America, and he preached at the National Prayer Service as part of the presidential inauguration festivities in 2013. Hamilton is the best-selling and award-winning author of The Journey, The Way, 24 Hours that Changed the World, Enough, When Christians Get it Wrong, and Seeing Gray in a World of Black and White,
Disciple: Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study is an approach to Bible study that emphasizes disciplined reading of and listening to Scripture. It results in biblically nourished persons committed to live as disciples.
During the course of 34 weeks, Disciple groups move through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. All Disciple Bible study participants will read more than 70 percent of the Bible. The scripture for each session follows the chronological movement of the biblical story. Each participant makes a commitment to daily preparation (3 -45 minutes per day) and weekly attendance and participation in class. Disciple aims at transformation, not just information.
A class will meet on Wednesday evenings, from 6:30-8:00 pm starting September 3. Pastor Reggie and Susan McElya are planning to co-lead this class.
