Know God. Love God. Serve God.
During Lent, the Adult Discipleship team invites you to explore creative and contemplative prayer styles. A variety of rotating stations will be set up for you to try out these different ways of praying.
The Bible is the foundation of our faith, yet many of us struggle with its complexities. Why do some passages inspire while others confuse or even trouble us? How do we interpret scripture faithfully in today’s world?
Explore these questions on a five-week journey unpacking these questions and more in Making Sense of the Bible. Based on Adam Hamilton’s insightful book, this series dives into the origins, meaning, and authority of scripture—helping us engage with the Bible in ways that deepen our faith and understanding.
Whether you’ve read the Bible cover to cover or are just beginning to explore its pages, this series will equip you to wrestle with scripture with both heart and mind. Come ready to ask questions, seek wisdom, and grow in faith! Scroll down for details about the all church Lenten book study.
Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!
Hallelujah! Christ Is Risen! He Is Risen Indeed! You are invited to worship on this day of triumph and hope.
You are invited to join a church-wide Lenten study on Making Sense of the Bible, Rediscovering the Power of Scripture Today by Adam Hamilton. In the book, Adam Hamilton invites us into an honest conversation about the Bible. The book begins with foundational questions such as, How and when was the Bible written? Who decided which books made it into the scriptures and why? How literally must we read it? And, is the Bible ever wrong?
From there, Hamilton considers the real questions people frequently ask that continue to divide Christians and denominations. In approachable and inviting language, Hamilton addresses these often misunderstood biblical themes leading readers to a deeper appreciation of the Bible so that we might hear God speak through it and find its words to be life-changing and life-giving.
