Romans: The Just Shall Live by Faith
Pastor Steve Crawford - 6:45pm - Fireside Chapel
The book of Romans is one of the clearest, most powerful, most impactful explanations of the gospel in all of scripture. In this book, we are confronted with the depths of our sin, the greatness of God‘s grace, the height of Christ‘s love, the steadfastness of God’s faithfulness, and the comprehensive call to present our lives as a living sacrifice in response to God’s amazing mercy. Come join us on Wednesday evenings as we begin year #2 studying through this profound epistle. Note: This fall, we will be specifically studying Romans 9-11.
Fundamentals of the Faith
Terry Drouhard - 6:45pm - Room 224
Fundamentals of the Faith has played a role in the spiritual growth of our congregation since 1995 at GBC, and for good reason. This 13-chapter study provides new believers with a rock-solid theological foundation. It also helps more mature Christians sharpen their understanding of key doctrines that equip them for greater worship of the Lord, evangelism, and discipleship. Additionally, FOF fosters an environment that encourages interaction between those that attend and the teacher, often forming many lasting relationships. Note: You will need to acquire the Fundamentals of the Faith Student Workbook from the Resource Center
Secure in Jesus: A Study in 1 John
Michelle Ruhlmann - 6:45pm - Room 222-223
Many believers at times wrestle with doubts, fears, and lack of assurance of salvation. Sometimes it is difficult to lay hold of the peace that God promises His children, and the presence of indwelling sin causes us to fear that we may not truly belong to Christ. The book of 1 John was written by the Apostle John to his beloved flock, to encourage those “who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know you have eternal life” (1 John 5:13). All ladies are invited to join Every Women’s Grace this year as we study 1 John together and learn how we can truly be “secure in Jesus.” We will be going through Secure in Jesus by Thad Bergmeier. Books will be available for purchase in the foyer for $11 on September 7, 14, and 21 (scholarships are available if needed). We’ll meet on Tuesdays from 9:00–10:30 a.m. (childcare provided for ages birth–4) and Wednesday evenings from 6:45–8:00 p.m. We’d love for you to join us!Note: This class is for women only.
Deacon Training
Pastor Gulfield Jones - 6:45pm - Room 121-122
The Deacon Training class will teach the valuable role of a deacon here at GBC, as assistants to the Shepherds and as biblically qualified servant-leaders who serve the physical needs of the congregation with mercy. It will help our whole church understand the privilege, responsibilities, and biblical qualifications for this office. Ultimately, the goal is to shepherd prospective deacons through a process of prayer and preparation, so they may serve God and the body of GBC faithfully. Note: This class is for men only. Attendance does not necessarily mean you will be asked to serve as a deacon, but all GBC men are welcome to attend.
Colosenses: Estudio Bíblico
Pastor Josué Pineda - 6:30pm - Charis Cafe Meeting Room
Join Pastor Josue as he continues his Wednesday night bible study through the book of Colossians. Note: This class is in Spanish.
