UPCOMING BIBLE STUDIES


VALLEYS. Finding Courage, Conviction, & Confidence in Life’s Low Points


Taught by RPC In-person teachers

TUESDAYS, 6:30-8:30p STARTING JULY 2, 2024


Valleys in the Bible have far more meaning than just as geographical markers or pins on an ancient map. In his literary genius, God repurposes valley settings throughout Scripture to signal tests of faith—and the deepening of confidence in the One who is with us in the valley.

In Valleys, we'll spend five sessions exploring:


  • Numbers 13–14: the Valley of Eshkol, where Moses’ spies scouted the Promised Land
  • Judges 4–5: the Valley of Kishon, where Deborah and Jael defeated their enemy
  • 1 Samuel 17: the Valley of Elah, where David fought Goliath
  • Psalm 23: the Valley of Death, where God comforts scared people
  • Ezekiel 37: the Valley of Dry Bones, where Ezekiel prophesied Israel’s restoration.

MOUNTAINS. Rediscovering your Vision & Restoring your Hope in God’s Presence


Taught by Kris Murphy

TUESDAY PMs or WEDNESDAYS AMs; ends 4/23 & 4/24


In the ancient, symbol-driven world of the Bible, location didn’t just matter - it had meaning. The Mountains Bible study will guide you through five mountaintop Bible stories because mountains are holy ground for connecting with God.

 

In Mountains, we’ll spend six sessions exploring: 


  • Genesis 1–2: the Mount of Creation, where God created the world; 
  • Exodus 19–20: Mount Sinai, where God gave the Israelites the Mosaic law; 
  • Matthew 5: the Mount of the Sermon, where Jesus delivered his most famous message; 
  • Matthew 17: the Mount of Transfiguration, where Jesus revealed his glory; and 
  • Matthew 28: the Mount of the Great Commission, where Jesus commissioned his disciples.

Finding Jesus in the Old Testament: A Lecture and Q&A Series

Written/taught by Rebecca Carrell


Jesus claimed that thousands of years before His feet touched the Galilean countryside, Moses wrote about Him.

And what does it mean? 


Join Rebecca Carrell on a 5-week journey through the Old Testament and discover how every book points us to our Savior.

RUTH: The Story of an Outsider

Written/Taught by Kris Murphy


When was the last time you felt like an outsider? 


Maybe you’ve felt friendless, directionless, or hopeless. Or perhaps you’ve wondered if you even have a part to play in God’s big story. 


The Old Testament book of Ruth travels from Bethlehem and back laying out one of the most flawless love stories ever written. In just 85 verses we follow the journey of two outsiders, Naomi and Ruth. It’s a story of layers; it’s a story of anticipation. We’ll encounter a tapestry of relatable ruin such as: loss, abandonment, bitterness, grief, risk, and suffering. But we also experience the beautiful redemption story of newness, protection, mercy, and hope restored.

PSALMS: God Reveals, We Respond

We are all living a story.


Our individual stories travel through conflict and peace, whispers and shouts, pain and joy, speaking and singing. Where is He revealing Himself in the midst of your story? How can you respond to God in the ups and downs?


Join us on a journey through the Psalms: Old Testament wisdom literature penned by various authors spanning hundreds of years. The psalmists recognized God through the entirety of their stories… and they responded in poems, prayers, and songs, sometimes alone, sometimes in community.


  • God reveals. Explore the background, examine the conditions and context, and experience how God reveals Himself to us through this collection of poems, prayers, and songs.
  • We respond. The Psalms are comprehensive and honest in all circumstances. Let them guide us in responding to God through the ebbs and flows of our lives today.


The two-part study of Psalms is available for individual study only.
