New Bible Study Classes

Here and Now...There and Then by Beth Moore is an 11-session lecture series on the book of Revelation. Beth presents many points of view, allowing women to decide for themselves when the interpretation varies among scholars. She teaches that God is as specific about what He does reveal as He is about what He does not reveal.

The Listening Guide is a book for note taking during the teaching sessions. It also has only one homework assignment for each week.  

Home Bible Study beginning:Tuesday, September 7, 6:30 pm meeting weekly at the Willhite home.

Anyone interested, please sign roster in the church office or call Brenda Alley, 983-9209.

Living The Baptist Faith - The topic is very relevant to most of us, as we seek to live out our faith in an ever-changing pluralistic world.

The facilitator of this 8-week study/sharing group is Howard Olive, a man widely known and loved for his many years of service at Monte Vista. Also, Brother Olive is greatly respected and appreciated for both his Biblical scholarship and his wealth of experience as an active Baptist leader throughout the past several years.

As in the past with Howard-led studies, you will be taking a look at real people and real church life – warts and all.

Wednesdays, September 8, 6 -7 pm in room 352

Foundations for God Talk - Loretta Denson and Steve Rutherford will facilitate this group with non-traditional approaches that will lead you into meaningful discussions to expand your understanding of Who God is.

Sundays, beginning September 12, 2010 – 4:30 pm

Beth Moore Study - Do you take God at His Word, believing what He has told us, or do you just believe in His existence and the salvation that He offers?  Beth Moore came face to face with this question.  Over time, the Holy Spirit led her to understand He was saying, “I didn’t ask you to believe in me; I asked you to believe me.”  Based on Isaiah 43:10, “Believing God:  Experiencing a Fresh Explosion of Faith” explores what it means to believe God through studying the lives of Abraham, Moses and others from Hebrews 11 as examples of people who believed God.  The format will be a combination of video presentations and class discussion based on weekly homework. For questions, contact Kim Mantooth at 983-8214.
