5. Adult Bible Study Options*
Four courses are available:
(1) The Gospel of John, Part 1
Tuesdays at 6:45 p.m. March 25 to June 10, 2025
Taught by Dr. Raphael Thomas at GCA and by ZOOM
By the time this Gospel was written, the person and work of the Lord Jesus was under attack. So, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, John details some miracles not recorded by the other Gospels, designed to provide all the evidence needed to confirm that Jesus is indeed the Christ, the Son of God. This course covers the first 8 chapters of John’s Gospel and is ideal for both young and mature Christians since it gives clear testimony to the deity of Jesus Christ.
(2) Genesis
Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m. March 25 to June 10, 2025
Taught by Pastor Brian Grant by ZOOM
Understanding Genesis is key to understanding the subsequent history of mankind. The book of Genesis remains important in understanding God’s design for your life. The events that are chronicled mirror human experience in failure and success, in the struggle to overcome sin, and in the need for a faith-based relationship with God. As the Scriptures themselves promise, a committed study of God’s Word will impact your mind, your heart, and your actions, and leave you with renewed gratitude for all that God has done.
(3) Discussion Study of Israel
Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m. March 25 to June 10, 2025
Taught by Bro. Jim McConnell, Bro. Lloyd Fields and Pastor George Peters by ZOOM
We are living in significant times where God’s predetermined and foretold events are unfolding in history before our very eyes! God has designed and chosen ISRAEL – its people and place for His eternal purposes. Today, Israel is constantly in the news, making it crucial for us to rediscover its biblical significance. Through scripture, we see Israel’s role in God’s divine plan throughout history. This study will be scripturally based, instructive, and spiritually edifying for all participants.
(4) Ephesians: Grow in Christ (For Ladies Only)
Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m. March 26 to June 11, 2025
Taught by various GCA ladies by ZOOM
Ephesians, by Lydia Brownback, is a verse-by-verse study that guides a Christian toward a godly life and help women understand the blessings of being united in Christ by faith, fellowship, spiritual maturity, and fruitful living. It also reveals how believers, through union with Christ, have been given everything they need to have a joy-filled life of faith.
