Disciple Short-Term Old Testament



***Disciple Short-Term New Testament*** 

(Disciple Short-Term New Testament is being offered virtually May 24 - July 23...8 weeks.  You may join us in the Bible study by completing the information on the contact page and submitting it.)

Join us in this 8-week life-changing Bible study that is ideal for busy people who are unable to commit to longer studies. We will explore the writings of the New Testament using the story of Jesus as the starting point. This survey of the testament looks at how the early church took ownership of and was shaped by the story of Jesus and how the church learned how to develop as disciples and create communities of faith.


Participants find a deeper conversation with the writers of the New Testament and a renewal of our commitment to be shaped — personally and communally — by the story of Jesus. The study is accessible for adults with little prior Bible experience.


Participants gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the New Testament as an integral part of the Christian Bible and a renewed discovery of our identity in God and God's vision for all things.

  1. Jesus Calls Us Into God's Redemption Story
  2. Jesus Calls Us to a Transformed Life
  3. Jesus Calls Us to Minister to a Hostile World
  4. Jesus Calls Us to Complex Communities of Faith
  5. Jesus Calls Us to Serve One Another
  6. Jesus Calls Us to a New Relationship With Tradition
  7. Jesus Calls Us to Live in Light of His Coming Again
  8. Jesus Calls Us to Experience the Gifts of His Dying and Rising

Disciple Short-Term John


(Invitation to John is being offered virtually May 24 - August 6...11 weeks.  You may join us in the Bible study by completing the information on the contact page and submitting it.)

 
This life-changing course is ideal for busy people who are unable to commit to longer studies.  The invitation from Christ is: "Come and see, Follow me." Experience the magnificent passages in John including the I am statements (I am the truth, the life and the way, I am the living water and more). Revisit stories only told in John's gospel including Nicodemus, Mary Magdalene and the raising of Lazarus.


During the weekly video segments, travel into the Scripture as you hear the Word, experience the grand artwork connected with each story and interview the scholar. Each week wraps up with a small group discussion on video to spark your own conversation.


Participants for this Invitation to John do not have to have an in-depth knowledge of the Bible to enjoy and benefit from participation. Reading just two chapters of John a week, they will discover the life altering stories that will invite them to follow Christ as true disciples.
