Conference Room A & Zoom

Romans
Mondays, 7:00–8:00 AM | Spring & Summer 2025
Room 242 & Zoom
David Dafoe & Ralph WeitzWe are studying Paul’s letter to the Romans, often referred to as the "Constitution of Christianity." The apostle lays out the Gospel as the revelation of God's righteousness in Christ and provides us with applications for a Christ-centered life. We will use the Navigator Romans (LifeChange) study guide. This study guide is available on Amazon and in the Word Room at a discount. Join us and be blessed!
Tuesday Morning Studies
Seeing Christ in Ezekiel
Tuesdays, 7:00–8:00 AM | Group will resume in September
Welcome Center & Zoom
Dr. Terrill Nelson & Phil ComstockEzekiel was a young priest in Jerusalem when he was carried away from Jerusalem as a POW by the Babylonians into the internment camps in Mesopotamia. His world was in turmoil. God called Ezekiel, the prophet, to preach among unrepentant Jewish exiles who’d stubbornly refused to accept responsibility for their national sin. What a mess! With bizarre visions, strange object lessons, and mysterious teachings, we’ll study how God used Ezekiel to prophesy poignant lessons not only for a fifth-century BC Israel but also for us today.
Required Text Book: The book will be available through the Calvary office, or from Amazon, or christianbook.com — Exalting Jesus in Ezekiel (Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series)
Overview of the Books of the Bible
