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: In January, we will begin in Romans 12.
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. In January, we will begin with chapter 5.
Parenting: A Call to Faithfulness
Pastor Hadley Franz - 6:45pm
We all know that there is only one perfect Father and one perfect Son. The grace of God is what makes the Christian life possible as we seek to become more like the Lord who saved us. As a parent, God calls you to faithfulness, not perfection. In this class we will dive into the heart of our perfect heavenly Father to see what faithful parenting looks like through the many different seasons and stages of child rearing and beyond. If you are anticipating child #1, if your children have all moved out of the house, or if you’re somewhere in between, this class will be helpful for you to see how you can redeem the time as mom & dad and glorify God in your parenting.
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,” even if you weren't with us in the fall. We will continue going through Secure in Jesus by Thad Bergmeier. Books are available for purchase in the Resource Center for $11. 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. If you are new, please register here.
Génesis: Estudio Bíblico
Pastor Josué Pineda - 6:30pm - Charis Cafe Meeting Room
Join Pastor Josue as he begins a Bible study through the book of Génesis. Note: This class is in Spanish.
