THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD - "What is God like?" For A.W. Tozer, there was no question more important. In fact, Tozer's desire to know God and His fullness consumed his entire life and ministry. Originally preached as sermons, The Attributes of God, examines ten attributes of God. Steeped in Scripture and filled with the Spirit, Tozer preached with striking clarity and power. The sense of his sermons comes through on every page, bringing the Word of God to bear upon you. This book also contains a study guide. We will be taking a journey into the Father's heart as we learn who God truly is. . .and how we can embrace all of His attributes every day.

THE TRUE NATURE OF GOD - As believers, we recognize that eternal life is all about relationship with the Lord. In John 17:3 Jesus said, "Now this is ETERNAL LIFE: that they know You, the only TRUE GOD, and JESUS CHRIST, whom You have sent." If you are allowing your understanding of the Old Testament or your religious or human perspectives to ECLIPSE the TRUE NATURE OF GOD, this group will help you learn how God wants to share His intimate LOVE for each of us so we can TRUST HIM to act in our BEST interest NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION.

IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS WAY - Life often looks so very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a moment, but others shatter us completely. We feel disappointed and disillusioned, and we quietly start to wonder about the reality of God’s goodness. In It's Not Supposed to Be This Way, Lysa Terkeurst helps us to: stop being pulled into the anxiety of disappointment, train ourselves to recognize the three strategies of the enemy so we can stand strong and persevere through unsettling relationships and uncertain outcomes, discover the secret of being steadfast and not panicking when God actually does give us more than we can handle, and so much more. You will be encouraged and in turn be able to encourage others during difficult times.

JOY BIBLE FELLOWSHIP - On Wednesday mornings  we will study the Book of Genesis with a special emphasis on

the creation account and the spiritual and practical teachings it has for us as New Testament believers.

We will be discussing the scientific and historical aspects as well as the archeological data that has been recently uncovered that verifies and confirms the Biblical account of creation. Hope to see you there.

LEVKULICH BIBLE STUDY - The old testament tabernacle and temple are meant to be types of the spiritual reality in Christ Jesus who is the real temple of God.

This study is for the purpose of understanding the old testament types as they find their fulfillment in Him.

REMEMBER - Throughout the Bible we are told to remember. To remember our first love, His commands and ways, what the Lord has done, His compassion and unfailing love and so much more, but often the struggles of life cause us to forget. Starting in Genesis and moving through the Bible, we will begin a journey of remembrance so we live our lives firmly planted in the goodness of God.

preservation of religious and civil liberty.
