Isaiah (Unplugged)
Join us for a verse-by-verse year-long study of the book of Isaiah, one of the major prophets. In its 66 chapters we will see the God who judges His people for rebelling against Him. This same God is the One who saves, offers hope for a future and restoration to those who return and follow Him. Each week, using the Bible as our text, we will examine passages by investigating what the passage says, interpreting what the verses mean, and then applying them personally to our everyday life.

Trusting God: Even When Life Hurts by Jerry Bridges
Where is God when life hurts? Can we trust Him? Adversity and suffering often challenge our faith and our reliance on God. Jerry shows how deepening our understanding of God’s sovereignty, His wisdom, and His perfect love can help us when we doubt. When we are firmly confident in Him, His character, and His love for us, we can experience His peace and His strength. Join us in this study and be encouraged as you discover God is indeed trustworthy.

‘Master’-ing Your Emotions: From Coping to Overcoming by Judy Rossi
Are there times when negative emotions master you and run your life? Anger? Fear? Worry? Anxiety? Discontent? If your answer is “Yes!” or even “Sometimes”, how do you think God responds to the competition? This study will challenge the triggers that can draw you into defeat or merely coping from day to day by laying a biblical foundation for what Christ fulfilled 2000 years ago. Discover the joy, security, stability, and freedom you can live out in Him daily “by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2).

He's Where the Joy Is: Getting to Know the Captivating God of the Trinity by Tara Leigh Cobble
Since our God longs for us to know Him and love Him, He reveals Himself to us through the pages of His Word. The doctrine of the Trinity is shrouded in mystery, but Scripture clearly unveils God’s three-in-oneness. As we study the character, the roles, and the relationships of the Father, Son, and Spirit, we grow in intimacy with the One who is the Author and Perfecter of deep faith and true joy. This study includes video access to Tara’s teaching that accompanies each lesson.

Take Courage: A Study of Haggai by Jennifer Rothschild
Do you find yourself in a season of discouragement and disappointment, a season in which hope seems elusive and beyond your grasp? Take courage then, from the story of Haggai, who reminded the people of Israel returning after exile to the ruins of their homeland that God had never left them. Just as God’s presence and promises gave them courage to press on and trust Him, you too, can rise above hopelessness and live your life with confidence in Him.
