We are presently in a new cycle of Adult Bible Classes. Two classes are offered. One class is based on Donald Whitney's book, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life. The other class is based on Dane Ortlund's book Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers. The books for these classes are available for purchase in the bookstore.

​​

Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life:​

Donald Whitney draws from a rich heritage of godly believers from Christian history, guiding readers through a carefully selected array of disciplines including Scripture reading, worship, silence and solitude, journaling, and more. He shows how the Spiritual Disciplines, far from being legalistic, restrictive, or binding as they’re often perceived, are actually the means to unparalleled spiritual liberty. By illustrating why the disciplines are important, showing how each one will help you grow in godliness, and offering practical suggestions for cultivating them on a long-term basis, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life provides you with a refreshing opportunity to embrace the pursuit of holiness through a lifelong delight in the disciplines.

Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers: ​

Christians can easily feel that Jesus is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. They know what Christ has done for them—but who is He? How does He feel about His people amid all their sins and failures? In Matthew 11, Jesus describes Himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for His people to find rest in Him. This book reflects on His words, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of Christ’s affections for sinners and encouraging believers as they journey, weary and faltering, toward heaven.
