The Word of the Lord: Seeing Jesus in the Prophets by Nancy Guthrie
Led by Jenn Fromke
Wednesdays at 9:30am at StoneBridge
10 weeks, beginning January 22
Have you ever tried reading the OT prophets and found them difficult to understand, or filled with too much doom and gloom? In this study, we will take a look at one prophet each week (no, we will not read every single prophetic book in its entirety). We will look at the person and work of Christ found in OT characters, their lives, and the words of warning and comfort God gave them for His people.
Hopefully, through this study we will gain a fresh perspective on the message of several OT prophets, and what they had to say about Jesus. We will gain insights about how Jesus fulfilled OT prophecies and the significance of those prophecies to the people who first heard them as well as the people who first saw them fulfilled. And we will also consider the implications of fulfilled prophecy for us today.
Join us for a dynamic, hope-filled study of the beautiful words God gave to the OT prophets concerning His son.
Tuesday Mornings
From Beginning to Forever by Elizabeth Woodson
Led by Kathy Jackson
Tuesdays at 6:45am on Zoom
12 weeks, beginning January 21
In From Beginning to Forever, Elizabeth Woodson guides you through the story of the Bible, showing how all 66 books combine to form one unified narrative. Weaving together the rich theological truths found in Genesis through Revelation, this 8-session study shows the eternal significance of what God is doing in the world and how he invites us to be a part of it. Many Christians today are daunted by the Bible, seeing the size and scope of Scripture as intimidating and overwhelming. The result is often a fragmented understanding of parts of the Bible, which leads us to view it through the lens of our individual stories, primarily looking for different verses or passages to help us live our everyday lives. But, in our search for personal truth, we fail to see how the entirety of Scripture works together to show a bigger story—God's work to redeem and restore the entire world.

Leaving Egypt: Finding God in the Wilderness Places by Chuck DeGroat
Led by Sharla Miller
Wednesdays at 9:30am at StoneBridge
9 weeks, beginning January 22
A few years ago, on a Sunday morning, we were singing a song called “Glorious Day.” There’s a line that says, “Now Your mercy has saved my soul, now Your freedom is all that I know, the old made new, Jesus, when I met You, whoa, what a day.” The word freedom captured all of my attention. I wasn’t sure I was experiencing it in the way Jesus meant for me to.
Leaving Egypt: Finding God in the Wilderness Places, uses the story of the Israelites and leaving their slavery in Egypt to show us where we might still be clinging to our own personal Egypt and missing the fullness of the freedom that God wants for us.
This is a book study that will incorporate many places in Scripture. It is four parts, divided into 16 chapters, so we’ll take two chapters a week, with one extra week for an Introduction and getting to know each other.
