BEGINS Jan 14, 2025!
This group meets at the same time as our Ladies Bible Study group. When the Ladies Group does not meet, we don't meet.
This is intended to be a classic verse by verse Bible study that will consider all pertinent aspects regarding author, setting, timing, language, and cultural lens
of the letter. Various commentaries and other resources will be referenced as needed and appropriate. This book in the New Testament is a letter from the Apostle Peter, a man who walked with Jesus as a friend during his life on earth.
Our opening meeting will review the background information from the gospels
about the Peter.
​
Bring your Bible and a notebook! If you need a Bible we will provide you with one.

Spirit Filled Living Discussion Group
Led by Pastor Jim Webb
Thursdays 1:00 - 2:30pm
Meeting Room 1
A fresh encounter with the words of Jesus.
More than 3 billion people claim to follow Jesus. But aside from a few verses, how many actually know what he taught? In fact, much of what people think Jesus taught, he never said. 
​
In this six-week study, pastor and best-selling author Adam Hamilton explores six of the most important themes in Jesus's teachings, why they
matter, and how they speak to us today.
We will explore:
-
Jesus’s preaching on the Kingdom of God,
-
the Sermon on the Mount,
-
the parables, the “I am” sayings in John, and more.
-
​
Jesus's message is not only life-changing, but world-changing.
You can buy the book on Amazon if you wish but it is not required for the class.

Women's Bible Study
Led by Terry Shores
Tuesdays 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Meeting Room 1
BEGINS Jan 14, 2025!
This group meets at the same time as our Mens Bible Study group.
Who am I? The question of identity is always in the back of our minds, and it’s currently at the forefront of social conversations. But the first question we need to ask is: Who is God? Then we can begin to consider, And who am I in light of who He is? In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul describes God as a merciful and forgiving Father who unites us in Christ and empowers us to live by the Spirit. We’re adopted children and fellow citizens with the saints because of God’s loving pursuit on our behalf.
​
In this 7-session study, Bible teachers, authors, and friends Jackie Hill Perry, Jasmine Holmes, and Melissa Kruger walk through the book of Ephesians, examining the invaluable truths Paul’s letter holds for us today. Along the way, they’ll help us understand the riches of our inheritance as daughters of our heavenly Father, as well as what it means to walk in a manner worthy of our calling.
​
You may purchase the book thru Amazon or call the Church Office to have them order it for you. Cost is $22 made out to MVPC with notation Women’s Bible Study.
