Bible Studies:
We welcome and encourage anyone to attend one (or more) of the Bible Studies we offer.
Bible studies are a great way to strengthen your knowledge of the Bible.  At the same time, you have an opportunity to ask questions and participate in discussions with others who have the same passion for the Bible as you do.
 
Below are the current Bible studies being offered at Beautiful Savior.  Each Bible study is approximately 1 hour long and does not require you to be there every week.  Come as often as it fits your schedule. 
“Evaluation of Evolution”
9:30 am Sundays
* Fellowship Hall *
Leader: Pastor Chris
“God’s Encouraging Word: True Comforts When Worldly Advice Fails
7 pm Tuesdays
* Fellowship Hall *
Leader: Pastor Chris
“Finding Rest in a
Busy World
– Women’s Bible Study –
9 am Thursdays
* Room 113 *
Leader: Donna Ceroll

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.

Everyone welcome!  No need to  attend every Sunday – come as works your schedule.

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.

 
NOTE:  This study meets at 7 pm every Tuesday in the Fellowship Hall and is open to both men and women.
We will begin a new study on Thursday, Sept 12.
In Finding Rest in a Busy World, you will explore what the Bible has to say about the importance and value of rest.  You will learn ways to recognize if your schedule has gotten out of control and how you can apply the brakes to restore healthy boundaries in your life.  Even more, you will  discover how God promises you can rest in who He is, what He’s done for you, and what He will do for you.
 
Copies of the book will be available for $7 at the first meeting and can be paid for then.
 
All women are welcome to join.  Contact the church office or Donna Ceroll (701) 640-5847 if you have questions or are interested in joining the group.
 
NOTE:  This study meets at 9 am every Thursday in Room 113.
