ADULT BIBLE STUDIES

The Torah Bible Study

SUNDAY MORNINGS AT 9 AM
Downstairs in the Youth Room

The first five books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) form the most sacred text in Judaism, the Torah, which serves as the foundation on which the rest of Scripture finds its footing. Pastor Brent is walking us through the Torah and helping us engage the stories, explore the mysteries, notice things we’ve never noticed before, and wrestle with their meaning while paying attention to the historical, cultural, and social contexts in which they were written.

The Lectionary Bible Study

MONDAY EVENINGS AT 7 PM
Upstairs in the Geneva Community Room

The Lectionary Bible Study gathers in person to read, study, and reflect on the passage of scripture Pastor Brent will be preaching on the following Sunday. Pastor Brent usually follows the assigned readings found in the Revised Common Lectionary. This study allows participants to dive deeper into the text, live with it, and let it simmer for a week prior to hearing his message on Sunday. This study helps Pastor Brent be a better preacher and the congregation be better hearers of the Word.
