    Chapel Bible Study | Normi Howard

    The Way of Wisdom

    The book of Proverbs describes wisdom as the greatest treasure of life. It also warns of the folly of worldly wisdom as a path that leads to the grave. In The Way of Wisdom, six Bible teachers invite you to consider wisdom principles on everyday topics like words, work, friendship, money management, and many others.

    The Word Alone | Jorie Dahlin

    Samuel, Saul, and David: A Study of 1 Samuel

    Samuel, Saul, and David were very different from one another: Samuel was a prophet, Saul was a king, and David was a shepherd. Yet, their stories are tightly intertwined. Each of them had a unique and important calling, so their relationships with one another could be complicated and contentious. Yet, God used their interactions with one another for his glory. Please join us on Tuesday mornings for this Bible-Only Bible Study, as we dive into the lives of these three men to see what unified them, what divided them, and ultimately, how God used them mightily for the good of his people Israel. 

    Women of all ages and stages are welcome.
