Master Calendar
We have added a link to our Master Calendar, where you can find the dates of everything we have going on across our ministries. Hopefully, this will help you schedule events with your life group and family with confidence as you look ahead. We will work to continue to update this throughout the year with additional events. You can also bookmark this link.
New Spring Classes
We have two new classes this Spring: a Christology class meeting on Sunday mornings and a Bible Time Guide Intensive in March.
Behold the King: A Study of the Person and Work of Christ
There is perhaps no greater study to devote yourself to than that of Christ. In fact, the Christian's ultimate pursuit is summarized well as seeking to be "conformed to the image" of Christ (Rom 8:29). Join Pastor Josiah for an 8-week study on the King of Kings and Lord of Lords as we seek to understand better the person and work of Jesus Christ our Lord.
This class begins on February 18th.

Bible Time Intensive
The goal of having a "Bible Time" as a family is to lead your children through the Bible with intentional study so that they can learn, apply, and pray God's Word! This class, led by Pastor Charlie, will teach you how to make your family Bible Time a consistent staple, filled with joy and fruit. The Bible is clear that parents are to raise their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Eph 6:4). God's people were commanded long ago to teach God's commands diligently to the next generation (Deut 6:7) so that they remember the faithfulness of God always. We will discuss topics like having the proper motivations for Bible Time, developing a helpful game plan, and methods for maximizing your Bible Time as a family.
This intensive is on Saturday, March 23rd, from 8:00am-Noon.

Application Questions:
The Footsteps of Faith
The Gospel According to Abraham
Genesis 11:27-12:9
APPLICATION QUESTIONS
Read Galatians 3:7-9. Consider the context of these verses, especially the verses that surround it in chapter 3. Why is it so important for us to remember that our hope is found in the gospel and not in our works? What trouble will we experience if we lose sight of that?
As you seek to grow in your faith, how often do you think about the promises of God? What are some ways you would like to grow in obedience as a Christian and what are some corresponding promises that will help you grow in those ways?
Read Hebrews 11:8. What are some ways you may struggle to obey God when you are unsure where that obedience may lead?
Read Hebrews 11:13-16. What are the ways you may tempted to get tied down by the things of this world? How does the example of Abraham motivate you to live like a stranger and exile in this world?
Read Psalm 147. No matter what the external circumstances may be in your life right now, what are some reasons that you have to worship the Lord and to proclaim his greatness?
