HEBREWS BIBLE STUDY: This nine week study of Hebrews is an encouragement for those of us who sometimes feel burned out by our faith and who are struggling to hold unto our relationship with God. Food and community occurs between 9:00 - 9:30 am, with our study concluding by 11 am. Everyone is welcome and newcomers are warmly invited to join us! Childcare is always provided.
Explore the teachings of who Jesus is and why faith in him matters today. The book of Hebrews is unique; its style is distinct from that of other letters in the New Testament. Though we don’t know who wrote Hebrews or exactly whom it was written to, it’s clear that the book was written to believers in Jesus who had become exhausted. They were tired of being Christians, tired of suffering for their faith, and tired of waiting for Jesus to come back. In their burned-out state they were in danger of drifting in their journey with God. So the writer of Hebrews aims to encourage these believers to hold on, in God’s strength, by refocusing on the author and founder of their faith—the Lord Jesus Christ.
This “back to basics” book outlines who Jesus is and why faith in him matters, and it focuses particularly on Jesus as our high priest and our “once for all” sacrifice (Heb. 10:10-12). Hebrews also speaks to us today, reminding us of all that Jesus is and all he has done for us, encouraging us to live faithfully in times when we too may be weary and in spiritual danger.
This study will take a week off for spring break on April 6th. And on March 18th, we will enjoy a special Bible study with our Teacher in Residence Laura Smit.

Book/Bible Study: The Really Bad Girls of the Bible, by Liz Curtis Higgs Please join us for
for a four week book/Bible study as we explore the lives of the following 8 women in the Bible: The Medium of En Dor, Tamar the Widow, Herodias, Athalia, Jael, The Adulteress, Bathsheba, and the Bleeding Woman. Even though they were “bad” in their time, a closer look at their lives reveals God’s truth, shining through the centuries and illuminating the corners of our lives. Liz Curtis Higgs’ blend of contemporary fiction, biblical commentary, and humor helps us all to experience God’s grace anew. Our first meeting will be on Wednesday, April 15th from 9:30 - 11:00 AM. We will discuss two chapters each week, concluding our study on May 6th. For more information and/or to sign-up, please contact Pam Morris (575.0255) or Leslie Hooker (940.0810).

Lead by Rev. Karen Fitz La Barge and Seminarian Drew Meyers
Worship Center II. 11:00 am - Noon
Jim Karsen was a beloved friend and teacher at Central Reformed Church and his Bible Studies were a regular feature of our Adult Education program. Jim was in the midst of his research for a Bible study on the Psalms for the fall of 2008 when he died suddenly. This Bible study will honor Jim’s work and his categories of the Psalms and draw on some of his notes to explore the different ways in which the ancient Hebrews used these words in their songs. Our sessions include:
Week one: Praise Psalms.
Week two: Penitential Psalms.
Week three: Wisdom Psalms.
Week four: King/ Royalty/ Messianic Psalms.
Week five: Imprecatory Psalms.
Week six: Laments.
Week seven: Concepts of God in the Psalms.
Come join us as we utilize the poetry of ancient Israel to grow closer to God!
