SUNDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY CLASSES
Beginning January 6. 2019
“IN CHRIST”
- TEACHER: RUSS GRESSETT
- ROOM: 212B
This will be a class on the “In Him” “In Whom,” “In Christ,” and “By Christ” truths that belong to us as believers. What is really true about us as sons and daughters of God? Do we see ourselves as God sees us? Are we walking in all that has been suffered us to have freely? Are there some “In Him,” and “In Whom,” and “In Christ,” and “By Christ” truths that we have left on the table and need to establish or re-establish in our lives? This class will build us up and strengthen us in the knowledge and understanding of who we truly are In Christ and what that means for us practically. Join us and let’s sharpen one another along these lines!
“If any man be in Christ he is a new creature.” Romans 5:17
FACE TO FACE WITH GOD
- TEACHER: CRYSTLE PERRY
- ROOM: 217B
In “Face to Face With God,” Bill Johnson helps us pursue God for greater measures of His presence in our own lives, sharing the principles he has learned, as well as real-life stories from his church and ministry. You will learn:
- How to “set up an ambush” for God, rather than just waiting on God.
- What it means to enter”the favor of His face” and how it changes history.
- How to deal with distractions that enter the mind during prayer/meditation time.
- The reward of keeping your eyes on the “Blesser,” while reaching for His blessings.
- What happens when God speaks directly as a result of obedience.
- How to move beyond the spiritual plateaus to ride the coming wave of revival.
The book “Face to Face with Go,” by Bill Johnson, will be used in this class.

BRIDAL INTERCESSION: AUTHORITY IN PRAYER THROUGH INTIMACY WITH JESUS
- FACILITATOR: NATALIE BLASINGAME
- ROOM: 214/15B
If communicating with God more intimately is on your list of New Year’s resolutions, then join our Ladies Bible Study as we dive into Bridal Intercession: Authority in Prayer Through Intimacy with Jesus by Gary Wiens (Oasis House, 2001). This book approaches the topic of intercessory prayer from the perspective of the Church’s place as the Bride of Christ. Rather than seeing prayer as an issue-oriented, anxiety-based exercise that produces fatigue, Gary Wiens presents prayer as joyful and romantic communion between the Lover and His Beloved. The approach is thoroughly biblical, utilizing the stories of God’s relationship with His people as the foundation for our call to intercessory prayer today. Just like Esther changed the course of history in her role as wife to the King when she tells him of her problem and leaves it to the King’s authority to sort out. We too can move from the “traditional” model of spiritual warfare that leads us to flit about, sometimes near God, sometimes far. The bridal intercession model will have us leaning upon
God’s arm.
Class will be flexibly structured to start with soaking to enter His presence, book club discussion, and prayer/ministry time to apply our new learning as led by the Holy Spirit. Bring friends new to the faith or those wanting to refresh their journey. If you are moved by the truth that God’s purpose in creating and redeeming you is to betroth you to Himself forever, join us! This study will thrill you with the knowledge of God’s plan and inspire you to an entirely new level of intimacy and intercession.
