Precept - 1st, 2nd, 3rd John

September 10 - October 22, 2026

Thursday mornings from 9 am to 11:30 am

1 John, 2 John, 3 John - How To Know You Have Eternal Life
Take a journey through the scriptures with the Apostle John, an eyewitness to the life of Jesus Christ. John walked with Jesus on earth so it’s no wonder that he steps up to the plate when deceivers try to weave a story to lead believers away from the truth. In this Bible study on I John and 2 & 3 John, we will explore questions like, “How do you know if you're really born again?” “What does it mean to be holy?” “What does it mean to love God?” “How do you know the truth?” “How do you stay confident in the truth that you have learned and loved?” Find answers to these and other questions as you take an in-depth look at several fundamentals of Christian beliefs.

Books are available in The Scroll.

Please complete lesson 1 before September 10.

A 7-Session Study on the Prophet Elijah

September and October, 2026 (Beginning September 9 & 10)

Wednesday evenings from 6:30–8 p.m. or Thursday mornings from 9–11 a.m.

From Best-Selling Author Priscilla Shirer:
Old Testament heroes are best known for their most celebrated moments: Moses dividing the Red Sea; David slaying Goliath; Gideon routing an insurmountable army; Joshua marching around the defiant walls of Jericho. And Elijah—calling down fire on Mount Carmel.

Every serious believer longs to summon up that kind of boldness and faith, yet few are willing to go through the process required to get them there. Join Priscilla Shirer on this 7-session journey through the life and times of the prophet Elijah to discover how the fire on Mount Carmel was forged in the valley of famine. And how the emboldened, fiery faith you desire is being fashioned by God in your life right now.

The Gospel of Luke by J.D. Greer

Beginning September 9, 2026

Wednesday Nights at 6:30pm

How Do You Respond to Jesus?
Who is Jesus of Nazareth, and what does he ask of us? For help answering these questions, we can turn to Luke’s orderly account of Jesus’s life and ministry—the Gospel of Luke. In this eleven-session series, pastor and author J.D. Greear will walk through Luke’s Gospel, highlighting who Jesus is, what he did, and how the people around him responded. Luke shows us that Jesus is the savior who came to seek and save people in need, including us—and we must decide how to respond when he lovingly moves toward us.
