“The Five Crowns of the Bible” - The Christian life is not lived merely to reach heaven—it is lived to faithfully serve the One who saved us. Scripture teaches that every believer will one day stand before the Bema Seat of Christ, where their works, motives, and faithfulness will be evaluated for eternal rewards (2 Corinthians 5:10; Romans 14:10–12).
This study explores the five crowns specifically mentioned in the New Testament as rewards for faithful believers. Each crown represents a different aspect of Christian discipleship: disciplined living, leading others to Christ, enduring trials, longing for Christ's return, and faithfully shepherding God's people. Together, they provide a compelling picture of what God values and desires to reward in the lives of His children. 6 weeks starting Sept. 13 in room 209. Cost: Free.
“Grace-Based Parenting” - This series by Dr. Tim Kimmel provides a new map for learning to see ourselves and our children through God’s limitless tenderness – to raise our kids the way God raises us. As we embrace the grace God offers, we begin to give it – creating a sound foundation for raising morally strong and spiritually motivated children. Hosted by Don Gudeman, Christian Life Coach and Biblical Counselor. Sept. 13 - Nov. 29 in room 210. More info at don.gudeman@gmail.com. Cost: $24 (for book and workbook).

"Living By Faith in a Turbulent World: A Study of the Book of Habakkuk": In the Book of Habakkuk we encounter a world much like ours - a world filled with violence, suffering, cruelty, and injustice. “Where is God?” the prophet asks as the book opens. “Has he forgotten or abandoned us?” The answers God gives are hardly expected and yet, at the end of the book, we find Habakkuk praising God rather than angrily leveling charges against Him. What made the difference is what this study is all about. Join Joel Eidsness (Retired Senior Pastor, Preaching Mentor and Seminary Instructor) for this four week journey through this very relevant book. Begins Sunday, Oct. 25. Room 209 @ 10:45am. Cost: FREE.
