The Book of Galatians by Kyle Idleman

Led by: Brie Axford
If someone asked you to explain the gospel, what would you say? What is the good news of the Christian faith? Writing to the Galatians, Paul made it clear how easily we can be tempted to turn toward fraudulent gospels, especially those that teach we can earn God’s love through our works. Though they may have the appearance of truth, they are lifeless and leave us empty in the end.
In this Book of the Bible series, Kyle Idleman dives into the book of Galatians, one that contains some of the clearest explanations of the gospel in the New Testament. Through biblical study and engaging lessons, Kyle shows that true freedom is found in surrender, not self-dependence. Because our gospel is not one based on our works, but faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ.

Why Trust the Bible by Amy Orr-Ewing

Led by: Lori Fellner
You don’t seriously believe all that stuff in the Bible, do you? Isn’t it sexist? And how could any educated person believe in all the miracles? If you’ve ever asked or been asked these kinds of questions, then this series is for you. Theologian Amy Orr-Ewing tackles six common questions about the Bible that can cause Christians to doubt and seekers to reject the faith before they encounter Jesus.

Book of Ecclesiastes by Jonathan Pokluda

Led by: Jordan & Carolyn Millward
Life is a gift, but it rarely turns out how we expect. We’re convinced things like wealth, power, fame, and control will give us meaning and lead us to a flourishing life—but, every time, they let us down. So where do we go when the bottom falls out? Where do we turn when things are going great but we still feel empty?
In this ten-session series, pastor Jonathan "JP" Pokluda takes us through the book of Ecclesiastes and shows us that we are not alone in our search for meaning. Join JP and discover how God himself, not the things of this world, satisfies our deepest desires for meaning.
Meets weekly on Thursdays at 7:30 PM | Starting February 5th - location TBA

Tame Your Thoughts by Max Lucado

Led by Evelyn Crawford
Have you been feeling weighed down by worry? Or caught up in a web of self-critical thoughts? The good news is that with God’s help, you can learn to renew your mind, break free from negative patterns, and become a little more like Jesus every day. This six-session Bible study explores three Scripture-based tools for managing your thoughts: Practice Picky Thinking, Identify UFOs and Uproot and Replant. 
These three tools will help you take every thought captive and test the messages that replay in your mind against the truth of God's Word. You will also learn to overcome common thought traps like anxiety, guilt, rejection, dissatisfaction, and more. No matter who you are or where you come from, progress is possible.

I Want to Trust You, But I Don’t by Lysa Terkeurst

Led by: Rachael Addison
How can you live well and step into the future when you keep stumbling over trust issues? Lysa TerKeurst says it's not simply about finding better people to walk with. It's about developing the stability you long for within yourself and with God, so you don't become cynical and carry a broken belief system into every new relationship. In I Want to Trust You, But I Don't, Lysa shows you how to stop having more faith in your fears coming true than God coming through for you by asking crucial "what if" questions to better process your doubts.
