Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study

 

 “If you make my word your home, you will indeed be my disciples.” John 8:31

 

 

    

Why should you spend time studying the Bible? Are you totally self sufficient?The Bible offers ground rules for successful living and relationships with God and with others. It is God's inspired word that for many centuries has proven valid in dealing with real life problems. 21st century morality and technology are not adequate alternatives. Call the church office at 262-782-4060 for more information.

Disciple I  :  Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study is a 34 week study utilizing one theme each week to organize study and reflection.  17 weeks of Old Testament and 17 weeks of New Testament.  No prerequisite required. 

Disciple II  :  Into the Word, Into the World is a 32 week study concentrating on Genesis, Exodus, Luke and Acts.  Because the readings are less extensive than Disciple 1, there is more time for reflection and greater depth in study.  Completion of Disciple 1 is required to take this class. 

Disciple III  :  Remember Who You Are is a 32 week study which concentrates on the writings of the Old Testament prophets and on the letters of Paul.  Completion of Disciple I is required to take this class.

Jesus in the Gospels This 30 week course focuses on the portraits of Jesus found in the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Daily assignments include Old and New Testament passages and utilize gospel comparison resources.  Completion of Disciple I is required to take this class.

Studies in Progressive Christianity

(Formerly The Forum) This adult discussion group explores issues in contemporary Christianity and progressive spiritual thought, including challenges to traditional theology. Leading progressive theologians are studied, primarily through video presentations. Most of the 2009-10 class year will be devoted to the series Living the Questions 2.0, "an open-minded alternative to studies that attempt to give participants all the answers and instead strives to create an environment where participants can interact with one another in exploring what's next for Christianity." Please join us. This class might be the most thought-provoking hour of your week! They meet in the Disciple Room.

Adult Bible Study

This group meets year-round. They focus on a variety of book studies aimed at growing in our faith.  They meet in the Highland Room.

Special Seminars

From time to time, we schedule special seminars between our two services on topics of current interest.  Please check the newsletter or the Sunday bulletin for times and dates.
