A Study of James
Led by Dan Darling, Parlor
This study shows that James is not just about doing good works, but about living out a real, gospel-shaped faith. True faith leads to practical obedience as we surrender to Jesus and let His Spirit work through us in everyday life.
Dan Darling is the Director of the Land Center for Cultural Engagement and an Associate Professor of Faith and Culture at Texas Baptist College.
Ladies Bible Study
Led by Joy Thompson, Room W-115
The first 8 weeks we will study “Anxious” by Scarlet Hiltibidal . There are many reasons to worry and one reason not to. We live in a broken, sad, scary place where there’s plenty to be anxious about. But true peace comes when we learn to hold God’s Word up to what worries us. The study guide will be available at the first session for $15.00
The last 4 weeks we will concentrate on the Advent study based on the beloved Christmas Carol. In this 4-session study, we will spend the weeks of Advent celebrating the good news of great joy.
Joy Thompson is the wife of our Elder, Larry Thompson, and director of the Koinonia small group.
