Book Study - Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear
We would love for you to give Bible Study/Book Study a try on Wednesdays at 10 am via Zoom! If you've never participated, but might find this subject interesting, this could be the perfect time to give it a try. We discuss for about 50 minutes and then spend about 10 minutes praying with one another.
The Zoom link for study each week appears in the Grace and Gratitude newsletter and is also on the Holy Cross website.
We hope to see you there!
Wednesday @ 10am
Learn the whole truth about the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit should inspire our awe and admiration. Unfortunately, for many believers these feelings of wonder come about as a result of puzzlement instead of adoration. But the truth of the matter is that the role of the Holy Spirit does not have to be a mystery in our lives, and we will miss out greatly on God’s power if we choose to ignore His Spirit.
In Relying on the Holy Spirit, Charles F. Stanley cuts through the confusion and introduces us to a living Person as real and active as God the Father and Christ the Son. We can know what God’s Word says about who the Spirit is—and how to develop a relationship with Him.
With over 1 million copies sold, the Charles F. Stanley Bible Study Series is a unique approach to Bible study, incorporating biblical truth, personal insights, emotional responses, and a call to action.
Each study draws on Dr. Stanley’s many years of teaching the guiding principles found in God’s Word, showing how we can apply them in practical ways to every situation we face. This edition of the series has been completely revised and updated, and includes two brand-new lessons from Dr. Stanley.
Each of the twelve lessons includes:
- Overview: A brief look at what is covered in the lesson
- Life's Questions: A teaching from Dr. Stanley that unpacks the topic of the lesson
- Living the Principle: Application and Bible study questions based on the key points
- Reflection: Key takeaways to put into practice today and tomorrow
Sunday Morning Bible Study - Lectio Divina on the Upcoming Lectionary Lessons
Pastor Kate will be leading an hour long adult education Bible study using Lectio Divina on the upcoming lectionary lessons used in worship each Sunday.
The four steps of Lectio Divina are:
- Lectio: Read a short passage of Scripture slowly and meditatively
- Meditatio: Read the passage again and reflect on it
- Oratio: Read the passage a third time and respond to God with your heart
- Contemplatio: Read the passage a final time and rest in God’s presence
Lectio Divina encourages us to become receptive to God’s Word for our lives. Reading, listening to, responding to, and resting in the word of God leads us to discover:
- What we want to say to God.
- What feelings and/or associations do the texts bring up?
- What is God saying to you?
- If you were to preach these texts, what would you focus on?
Please join us in the adult education wing Sundays at 11am for this exciting new offering.
Where:
On-Site at 11 am in the Atrium of the Education Wing
