Bible Studies for Everyone
The First Epistle: Corinthians
Come join us as we explore the First Epistle to the Corinthians. This book of the New Testament is a powerful and relevant letter written by the Apostle Paul to address the concerns and challenges faced by the early church in Corinth. This dynamic city, known for its wealth and immorality, presented a unique set of circumstances for these new believers.

The Gospel of John: Savoring the Peace of Jesus in a Chaotic World, by Melissa Spoelstra. After more than 20 years in OH, Melissa and her hubby now live in Waxahachie, TX! She’s from Texas.
This 7-session class will explore peace in the plan, power, patience, purposes, promises, and passion of Jesus. Melissa “will encourage you to slow down and linger with the living Word. As you turn the pages of John’s Gospel, you’ll be challenged to take on the posture of a learner—understanding that the peace Jesus offers is not an ease of circumstances but a stillness of the soul. As a result, you’ll grow in intimacy with Him and learn to walk, serve, and rest in His peace.” (from the back cover of the workbook).

2Corinthians | July 5 – October 25 | 6:45-7:45am | Zoom
2 Corinthians: Paul established a growing Jesus community in Rome’s 4th largest city of Corinth in about 50AD. It was a mixture of Jews and Gentiles who lived in this very wealthy and corrupt city. After Paul moved on in his missionary work, he kept in contact with the church finding many issues and problems which he addressed by sending young ministers with letters of instructions in addressing those problems. We have two of those letters to the Corinthian church in the New Testament. Our study is the book or letter we call 2 Corinthians. The guidance provided by Paul in addressing problems within that church are as relevant today as they were back then. Paul was all about calling out the sinful nonsense and about focusing on Jesus and the gospel message.
Study notes are provided for each class so all that is needed is a Bible. We move chapter to chapter – studying verse by verse with discussion.
