Fall Back into Fall


We have two new studies for the fall and we are very excited about them.

The first is "The End of an Era, The Rise and Fall of Solomon" by John MacArthur.  
How would the gift of true wisdom change your life today … change your relationship with God, with your friends and your loved ones? In the MacArthur Old Testament Study Guide: End of an Era, you can learn how. Proverbs, the Song of Solomon, and Ecclesiastes are brought to life in this twelve-week guide. You’ll connect to the text with deeper understanding as the themes of wisdom from God as well as being wise in the world are explored.


The second is "Finding Redemption in the Movies".
Ecclesiastes 3:11 suggests that we come ready-made to understand the greatest story, the epic story of an enemy’s betrayal, the fight between the destroyer and the redeemer, something lost and the journey to recovery, a hero coming to rescue, and ultimate restoration. The Larger Story is the story of the gospel, with Scripture providing the back-story (the truth) behind every meaningful story. Great movies speak to that ready-made part of us because story is the language of the heart.


We plan to use the Solomon study weekly, with a once-a-month Movie Night and follow-up study on Sunday.  We will be posting a schedule, but plan for our first movie night on Saturday, September 26.
