Adult Sunday School Class: So the Next Generation Will Know
The next generation has the potential to change the world. God has entrusted us to raise and train our children appropriately so that they may change the world as guided by His biblical truth. “Our children” includes family members and children in our church family. So the Next Generation Will Know was written by two trusted experts on today’s youth – Sean McDowell and J Warner Wallace. Their video study is a practical tool for anyone equipping and influencing the next generation with a biblical worldview. Eden’s Adult Sunday School Class is studying So the Next Generation Will Know on Sundays from 10:30-11:30 am in Classroom 1302/1303. Please join us for this important class!
The Book of Revelation: Escape the Coming Night
There’s no doubt the world is in trouble. We see tragedy in the streets and violence in the news. We feel the pain and confusion of a culture that seems to be coming apart at the seams. How do we explain so much chaos? How do we live with such turmoil? Is there any hope for peace in our times? In the study Escape the Coming Night, Dr David Jeremiah will help us answer these questions as he walks us through the book of Revelation. This exploration of Revelation is shocking and eye-opening, but also consistently uplifting – a vital message for our time. Join us 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.
Friday Women’s Bible Study - The Book of 2 Samuel
Eden’s Friday Women’s Bible Study Group is studying The Book of 2 Samuel. David is known as Israel’s greatest king, but he had to fight many battles to establish his throne. When he did become king, he committed murder, adultery and brought disaster on his family. He was a man with human failings and far from perfect, yet he was also a man after God’s own heart. David depended on God’s grace for forgiveness when he stumbled – the same grace that is available to us today.
Our group will use John MacArthur’s study guide to look at how David struggled to establish his throne and concludes with the tragic rebellion of his son, Absalom. 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.
Boys Bible study
The High School Boys Bible study group meets at Eden in Fellowship Hall on Tuesdays from 3:30-5:00. We are starting a new study on the book of Romans. The book of Romans is rich with spiritual wisdom. By studying Paul’s letter to the Romans, we will explore everything from new life in Christ to how to live like Jesus. If you are a High School boy, please join us for this time of study and fellowship. If you have any questions, please contact Fred Heepke (618-304-0928), Mike Schiber (618-920-0862) or Roger Stahlhut
