It’s only when you sit down and talk with someone that you start to discover what they are really like. What would it be like to have an intimate conversation with Jesus? What would you ask Him? What might He say to you? In his Gospel, John records for us a series of conversations that Jesus had with different people. They include a confused minister and a desperate woman; a lifelong loser and an anxious politician. From each conversation there emerges something new about Jesus – who He is, what He came to do and what His priorities and concerns are. And each time we also hear Jesus speaking directly to us. He addresses our doubts and our desires, our fears and our failings, our sorrows and setbacks, and challenges us to think differently about God, life and eternity.

“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt” – Exodus 20:2
Every book of the Bible tells us what is true about God. In Exodus we see Him as our strong Deliverer who sets us free from sin and death to worship Him through obedience. Come join us for this 10-session study of Exodus 19-40, as we journey through the story of how God shepherds His newly-liberated children into an understanding of what their freedom means. We will revisit familiar scenes with a fresh perspective as we learn to trace the promise of Christ throughout and ask what these stories teach God’s children today about how to live as those set free. Discover how the God who created you and made a covenant with you will deliver you from death to life, for His name and renown.
NOTE: God of Deliverance, A Study of Exodus 1-18 is NOT a prerequisite for taking this class.

Whether you’ve grown up hearing Bible stories or you’re exploring Scripture for the first time, the full story of the Bible can be overwhelming. The 66 books may seem disconnected at first glance. This study shows you how the whole Bible – from Genesis through Revelation – connects as one beautiful, seamless thread. We will strive to understand the Bible as a whole as we change the way we look at scripture, and connect with people, places and promises of God’s Word in a fresh way.

“Blessed be the Lord, who has delivered you” – Exodus 18:10 The exodus of the Israelites shapes our understanding of the whole Bible, its themes reverberating all the way to Revelation. Exodus is the birth narrative of a nation unmistakably guided by the Great Deliverer. Come join us for this verse-by-verse study, written by Jen Wilkin, on Exodus 1-18. As we walk through these passages, we will see that Israel’s story is our story. The same God who delivered Israel also delivers us from slavery to sin and from service to the pharaohs of this world. He lifts our eyes to the promised land that He has prepared where we dwell with I AM and worship Him as the one true God.

We live in a culture that’s all about self, becoming the best “me” I can be instead of becoming like Jesus. This me-centered message affects every area of our lives – our friendships, our marriages, even our faith and it breaks each one in different ways. The self-focused life robs our joy, shrinks our souls, and is the reason we never quite break free of insecurity. Anyone yearning for a purpose bigger than “project me” will cherish this paradigm-shifting message of true fulfillment.
