The Sunday morning Bible study will provide critical evaluation of evolution, old earth – Beginning Sunday, September 8, with a two-week viewing of “Noah’s Flood: Washing Away Millions of Years,” followed by a two-week exploration of evolution in “Dismantled,” beginning October 6. We will have a two-week break as we celebrate New Member Sunday on Sept. 22 and have a voters meeting Sunday, Sept. 29.
We will explore questions of evolution using observable science. We will be watching two videos: “Noah’s Flood: Washing Away Millions of Years” and “Dismantled.” These videos are excellent resources to help families discover that science supports the Biblical account of a six-day creation and young earth. Students in seventh through twelfth grades are welcome and encouraged to join the study.
On September 10, we will start a new study “God’s Encouraging Word: True Comforts When Worldly Advice Fails”.
Just be positive!” “God only gives you what you can handle.” “Others have it harder.” People mean well when they say these phrases. They intend to offer comfort and help during difficult times. Yet do these self-help phrases actually offer comfort to you, or do they make things feel worse? Do these self-help phrases align with God’s Word?
Author Faith Doerr has heard her fair share of these phrases during struggles in her life. And she knows first-hand how they feel like “nails on a chalkboard” from the receiving end. If these phrases don’t offer comfort, then is there something that can?
Scripture. God’s Word is full of true comfort that can help you in times of trouble and distress. Take a look at eight self-help phrases to see how they can actually do the opposite of their intentions, then turn to the Bible to find real words of comfort you can offer to those who need it.
Each chapter includes a journal prompt, Scripture verses, a prayer, “gentle reminders,” and responses for when you hear these eight phrases. Learn how to offer real comfort and hope to those in your life through Scripture in God’s Encouraging Word.
Copies of the book are available for $11.
Starting on Sunday, September 22, we will begin Season 4.
