SLAYING THE GIANTS IN YOUR LIFE by DR. DAVID JEREMIAH
Led by Pastors Jeff and Ann Hoy. This is a 6 session series. The battle between David and Goliath is one of the most popular and best loved stories in the Bible. Yet we’re mistaken if we believe that story to be a relic of the past with no application for today. The truth is giants plague those within the church even today. And while the giants we face may not wield spears and shields, they are still fearsome, including loneliness, doubt, guilt, fear, temptation, procrastination, jealously, and more. Giants such as these have caused far too many of God’s children to stumble in their spiritual lives. In Slaying the Giants in Your Life, respected pastor, speaker, and Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah challenges us to stand valiantly against the forces that seek to terrorize us. In addition to his transformative biblical teaching, Dr. Jeremiah weaves in gripping, real-life stories of contemporary giant slayers who came face-to-face with their own Goliaths and found victory. As you read, you will discover afresh the eternal and unwavering promise of God to help us in overcoming our giants.
HOW TO STUDY THE BIBLE INDUCTIVELY & APPLY IT TO 1 JOHN
Led by Mark and Mindy Ross. This is a 6 session series. The purpose of an Inductive Bible Study Method is to understand the Word of God by first observing the text (discovering what the passage says), interpreting it (figuring out what it means), and applying the message of Bible passages to our lives (determining how it can change us and help us in light of the truth we’ve learned). This class will equip you to study your Bible for the rest of your life.
FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN by RAY VANDER LAAN
Led by Bob and Brenda Brant. This is a 6 session series. This study by noted teacher and historian, Ray Vander Laan, is volume nine of the 16-part, That the World May Know series. In Fire on the Mountain, filmed on-location at Marah, Elim, Wilderness of Sin, Rephidim, and the Red Sea, Vander Laan discusses how the Israelites were finally free when they left Egypt: free from persecution, free from oppression, and free to worship their God. But with that freedom comes a new challenge - learning how to live together he way God intends. Discover how God teaches the Israelites what it means to be part of a community that loves Him and what that means for us today. That the World May Know is a unique video series that brings God's Word to life with astounding relevance. By weaving together the Bible's fascinating historical, cultural, religious, and geographical contexts, teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan reveals unique insights into the Scriptures' significance for modern believers.
10 BASICS EVERY CREATIONIST MUST KNOW
Led John and Donna Griffin. This is an 8 session series. Every Christian who stands unashamedly on the authority of God’s Word should be ready to show how the Bible unlocks our understanding of the world. Yet certain questions seem to stump Christians more than other questions.

In this special series, highly qualified speakers and researchers with Answers in Genesis–USA have composed concise answers to each question, on a level anyone can understand.
MALACHI: A LOVE THAT NEVER LETS GO by LISA HARPER
Led by Damaris Torres and Carmell Nickols. This is an 8 session Women's Bible Study on the book of Malachi. In this study, Lisa focuses on God's mercy. On our worst day, God doesn't walk away from us. And His love for us is not determined by our performance. No matter how many times we mess up, God loves (and never leaves) broken people. "I the LORD do not change" Malachi 3:6 Women taking this Bible study will gain a fresh perspective on the Book of Malachi. It is more than a book in the Bible about tithing. Lisa brings the Scripture to life through dynamic storytelling. (FOR LADIES ONLY * TEENAGE DAUGHTERS ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND WITH THEIR MOTHERS.)
THE FORGE BIBLE STUDY by STEPHEN KENDRICK AND ALEX KENDRICK
Led by Chris and Heather Sprankle. This is a 5 session study. Jesus focused His time and attention on walking with God and making disciples. Shouldn’t we? In His wisdom, He chose to invest deeply in the lives of twelve men. He saw them, called them, taught them, saved them, and sent them into the world to bear witness to what He had done for them. This study uses featured clips from the new Kendrick brothers’ movie, THE FORGE, to ignite a passion for knowing Christ personally, following Him sacrificially, obeying Him willingly, and helping others become Disciples of Christ. The world doesn’t need another strategy, it needs men and women who are devoted to Jesus and committed to helping others know and follow Him through lifelong discipleship.

HOLY AMBITION by CHIP INGRAM
Led Joe and Kathy Tom. This is a 6 session study. God is a doer of great things. Isn't it time you joined His big plans? Human ambition is often rooted in pride. But "holy ambition"? That's something else! When your ambitions aren't about your own glory but God's, you'll find Him to be a source of empowerment that you can't get anywhere else. Holy Ambition takes you to the biblical story of Nehemiah, a humble servant of the king who became a leader of his people. Nehemiah could have kept his comfortable position in the palace, but instead he chose a radical path that allowed him to do amazing things for God. You can too! But you're going to have to take some risks. And that means you've got to put aside fear or pride and start acting on your holy ambitions. It's time for the church to let God do a powerful work in them and through them. No more living in the boring middle. Start living on the edge of God's groundbreaking work, and experience the exuberance of being on mission for Him!
