Christian Studies
Bible Studies
Which group best meets your need to know God more intimately and to enjoy fellowship with other seekers? God speaks to us through the study of His Word and the insights others bring to a group discussion, and through the prayer which forms part of every session.
There is space in many groups for new participants, and new groups can be proposed.
All are welcome! See the bottom of this page for details on signing up.
Lenten Bible Study - “The Sacred Echo: A six-session study on prayer, with Margaret Feinberg”
6 weeks - March 10th, 17th, 24th, 31st, April 7th and 14th
7:30PM at the Church in the Education Center
Leader: The Rev. Craig Tanksley
Description: When we pray, does God answer? Was that God’s voice, or my own?
When God really wants to get your attention, he doesn’t just say something once, he echoes. He speaks through a Sunday sermon, a chance conversation with a friend the next day, and even a random email. The same theme, idea, impression, or lesson will repeat itself in surprising and unexpected ways until you realize that maybe, just maybe, God is at work.
As God’s voice echoes to us, we are invited to echo back to him in prayer. We are invited to be persistent and tenacious not only in the things we ask but also in our desire for a relationship with him.
In each of the six video sessions of The Sacred Echo, Margaret Feinberg provides Biblical and practical teaching that will offer a fresh perspective on our interactions with God through prayer. Each session also includes interviews with people who share their personal times when God was silent and times when God was at work. The session topics are:
1 - Echoes
2 - I Love You
3 - How Long
4 - You Follow Me
5 - Surrender
6 - Bring them to Me
