2012 Fall Semester.  Classes meet at 9:00 am.

Tracing God’s Ways  (Chris Hanna) - Meeting in the Chapel

At GBC, we believe that God’s grace is sovereign, saving and sufficient.  In this new class, we will trace the course of God’s grace through both the Old Testament and the New Testament.  A comprehensive and chronological overview will reveal the continuity and connections in redemptive history, as grace is seen in defining events and in the lives of key biblical characters.  Please come and be amazed to learn of the breadth of God’s work, and how His grace is purposefully integrated throughout to accomplish His plan.

Yesterday’s Youth — “I Never Thought I’d See The Day . . .” (Gary Wiers)

Meeting in the Fellowship Hall

The world has changed, and is changing. Many people are witnessing upheavals in the world’s structures and values, even in their churches.  In this study, Dr. David Jeremiah, using both CD messages and a Study Guide, will examine 9 changes in our world that he (and probably you) never thought would be seen – and gives a biblical evaluation of each:

angry atheists; Jesus Christ profaned; marriage redefined; the Church irrelevant; militant nations; the Bible marginalized; morality falling; America abandoning Israel; spiritual warfare intensifying

Given the relevance and timeliness of this study, all GBC age groups are invited to join us.

The Bible Through The Centuries— How The LORD Brought Us His Word In English (Wayne Wright) Meeting in the Sunshine Room

The Bible you hold and read in English truly is a gift from God.  Join us to discover how the words from God were first recorded, and how men have copied and preserved them since with various methods and materials.  See how our canon of the Old and New Testaments was finalized.  Be inspired by how God saved His Word from destruction, and by why many believers have sacrificed even their lives to protect it.

Please join us to encounter the true account of the the Holy Scriptures being translated into the English language – a journey of dedication, courage, and faithfulness by obedient, gifted believers.  May you experience a deeper appreciation for God’s Word by studying and discussing with us.

Focus On Prayer (led by Mark Schoonover) Meeting in the Bookstore

Our Bible Hour prayer meeting begins with an informal teaching on prayer, and then we pray for the needs of God’s people and our ministries using the model just learned from God’s Word.

Ladies’ Bible Study (Julie Atwood) Meeting in the College & Career Room

Ladies from many generations are being blessed and challenged by studying God’s truths from God’s Word. Ann Voskamp’s book and related DVD study, One Thousand Gifts, will serve as a jumping-off point for discussion and growth.

Rightly understood and discerningly applied, the message of being more grateful in all areas of life will find expression in journaling instances of God’s provision to be remembered and in a deeper passion to know God from being daily in His Word.
