Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan
Often disguised as something that would help him, evil accompanies Christian on his journey to the Celestial City. As you walk with him, you’ll begin to identify today’s many religious pitfalls. These are presented by men such as Pliable, who turns back at the Slough of Despond; and Ignorance, who believes he’s a true follower of Christ when he’s really only trusting in himself.
Each character represented in this allegory is intentionally and profoundly accurate in its depiction of what we see all around us, and unfortunately, what we too often see in ourselves. But while Christian is injured and nearly killed, he eventually prevails to the end. So can you.

Happiness by Randy Alcorn
Do you ever wonder whether God even cares if we're happy?
This world can be so hard, and we aren't promised an easy road. But that's not the whole story. The Bible is filled with verses that prove that ours is a God who not only loves celebrations but also desperately wants his children to experience happiness. Why else would he go to the lengths he did to ensure our eternal happiness in his presence? We know that we will experience unimaginable joy and happiness in heaven, but that doesn't mean we can't also experience joy and happiness here on earth.
We will be answering questions like:

The Jesus You May Not Know by Dr. David Jeremiah
The Jesus You May Not Know answers probing questions about the Jesus you may not know.
Jesus is the mystery of the ages and the marvel of history. He is also personal, and knowable, and He longs for your fellowship. Your life will overflow when the Jesus you may not know becomes the Lord you'll always love.

"Sola Fide" a study of Galatians (Ladies Only) by Debbie Cooper, Jenney Roy, and Tina Recla - Two Meeting options: Thurs @ 10 am and Sunday @ 6 pm
Christ came, accomplished His work on the cross, ascended back to heaven, and left His salvific mark on history. Paul, called and sent by God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, preached this good news of salvation and established the churches of Galatia on his first missionary journey. But false teachings penetrated the churches with the idea that salvation was through Christ plus the law. This teaching muddied the gospel Paul preached and had the potential to place the Galatians back under bondage to the law. Paul admonished the Galatians to remember the cross of Christ as the only way to salvation and true freedom. He proclaimed in Galatians 3:21, “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God.”
And this changed everything for the Galatians and for us today. Now the Christian life is no longer lived “in the flesh” but, in contrast, it is lived “in the Spirit” who empowers us to “keep in step with the Spirit” and become all God has designed for our lives. Join with us as we study and learn alongside other women how faith alone (sola fide) in Christ alone is not only sufficient for salvation, but for all of life.
