The sayings of Jesus will always have a greater impact on us the longer we study them. They take a lifetime to understand and apply. This is why Adult Education at Eden Church is so passionate about our task! The groups provide opportunities to connect, discover, and grow together. We offer a wide range of sessions from being men of faith to parenting to prayer, or Bible verses, while sharing a meal together. Sunday morning and evening, and weekday and evening groups are available. Please contact the church office for more information and a listing of current classes.
Adult Sunday School Class - God & Government
Our adult Sunday school class invites you to a study called *God and Government*, based on a video series produced by the Family Research Council. As our nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this study provides an opportunity to reflect on the relationship between biblical faith, government, freedom, and civic responsibility. In a time when politics, culture, and faith often intersect in complicated ways, many Christians wrestle with important questions about how believers should think about and engage public life.
Over the course of fourteen weeks, we will work through the material carefully and thoughtfully, using the video sessions as a starting point for deeper discussion and reflection. Together, we will explore biblical teachings related to government, the responsibilities of citizenship, religious liberty, and the role Christians can play in society while remaining faithful to Christ. The class is designed not only to present information, but also to encourage meaningful conversation and careful consideration of these important issues.
We invite all adults to join us for this timely and engaging study. Whether you are especially interested in history, government, biblical teaching, or simply want to better understand how faith relates to public life, this class will offer an opportunity to learn and grow together. Everyone is welcome. We meet on Sunday mornings from 10:30-11:30 in Classroom 1302/1303. Please join us for this valuable study.
Wednesday Morning Men’s Bible Study
The Men meet on Wednesday mornings at 6:30 AM in the Fellowship Hall, and others join remotely by Zoom. Breakfast is provided each week. The men are currently studying the book of 1 Peter in the New Testament. You may join this study at any time. To receive the Zoom meeting information or to receive a copy of the book, please contact Pastor Roberts at pastor@edenchurch-edw.org.
Minor Prophets Bible Study
Micah, Zephaniah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Joel & Obadiah are all relatively obscure figures in history. They are important today because they faithfully delivered God’s messages at crucial times in the history of Israel and Judah. They called out God’s people for their sins yet they also spoke faithfully of the restoration that God offers. Pastor John MacArthur’s Bible Study will take us on an exploration of the minor prophets’ messages, including the promise of a future reign of Christ on earth. You are invited to join this study which meets on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 pm in Classrooms 1302/1303. Contact Linda Romann (Mobile: 618-560-9532 / Email: lromann@sbcglobal.net) for more information about our study.
Wednesday Bible Study 2
The Wednesday Evening Bible Study 2 is studying “Respectable Sins” by Jerry Bridges. This is a popular study at Eden exploring sins that have been minimized over time. If you have not participated or it has been awhile, reach out to Denise Engelke at 618-973-0780 for more details. This Bible Study meet online using the Zoom app.
Friday Women’s Bible Study - Prayer and the Psalms Devotional
For this summer, Eden’s Friday Women’s Bible Study Group is reading and reflecting on a variety of Psalms using the Right Now Media study Prayer and the Psalms Devotional by Mary DeMuth. The Book of Psalms bursts with prayers that model how to approach God in joy or sadness, praise or weeping. Our class meets at 12:30 pm on the second and fourth Fridays of each month in Classroom 1302/1303. Contact Nancy Kruckeberg (Call or Text: 618-920-6941 / Email: nkruck85@gmail.com) for more information. We invite you to join our group and gain an enriched prayer life in every circumstance.
