Why are you a Christian? Why do you come to church? Why would you go to a bible study? What is faith? And how does Jesus impact your life of faith? In fact, what does “to live a life of faith” actually mean? Christianity truly at its heart is exceedingly simple: “Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so!” But on the other hand, Christianity brings us vast and rich insight into the God who created us; who knows us like no other does; and who has revealed Himself to us in His Word. Our Christian faith teaches us not only about the character and the work of God, but about ourselves and each other. Romans explains, step-by-step, why and how God saves us in Jesus Christ. As we read and study through this letter to the church at Rome, we will reflect on the examples of faith not just from the Old Testament, but from the personal struggles of its divinely inspired author, Paul. We will explore in practical ways how, despite our weaknesses, God, through His living Word, continues to work in each of our lives. Romans is often called the greatest of Paul’s letters. Luther calls it the purest of Gospel and it declares to us in its opening words that “the Gospel is the power of salvation for all who believe.” (Rom 1:16-17). Please come join us in a study you will find both thought provoking and comforting. A study anchored in the real world of today. And a study that is always uplifting in Christ Jesus.

The Book of Nehemiah is a book of action, adventure and rebuilding, both physically and spiritually. It is an exciting first person narrative which records events surrounding the final wave of Jews returning to their homeland in Judah, following 70 years in exile. It is also about the 5 principals of effective leadership, still used in churches today. Learn how Nehemiah overcame obstacles and resistance each step along the way. Watch as Nehemiah first rebuilds the walls around Jerusalem to give security and protection to the people returning from exile (Chapters 1-7). Then learn how he, along with Ezra the Priest, rebuilds the people spiritually, to once again serve and worship God (Chapters 8-13).
