Bible Studies Fall/Winter 2008

Come get to know your Bible better and how it applies to your life,
while developing friendships with one another at Damascus
Community Church.

The following classes will be starting the week of September 15th, and
we would love to have you join us. Both morning and evening
sessions are planned, with nursery and pre-school classes provided
for Tuesday morning classes (and Sunday evening beginning 9/28).

Mornings

• Men’s Breakfast/Bible Study

TUESDAY'S 6:30 AM
Harmony House Restaurant 15730 SE 130th Ave (Hwy 224)

• Tuesday Morning-Precepts:
  Understanding the Anger of God
  A study of Micah, Nahum and Habakkuk.

Micah: In the midst of despair there is always hope, because God is
the God of hope. In the midst of corruption, there is always the
Word of the Lord, the message of truth, because God is not silent.
Nahum: Can a nation forget God, act with great cruelty against
another nation, and escape the judgment of God?
Habakkuk: The central truth of Habakkuk spurred a reformation in a
troubled monk who hated the righteousness of a God he could not
please. His name was Martin Luther. What will come to pass in and
through your life as a result of studying truths written nearly two and
a half millennia ago? Begins Sept. 16, 8:40–10:30 A.M. with Marilee at DCC.
Childcare provided. 503.658.3179. Cost: $11 for workbook.

• Tuesday Morning: Breaking Free.

Making Liberty in Christ a Reality in Life, leads us through a study of
the Scriptures to discover the transforming power of Christian
freedom. Based on Isaiah 61: 1-4, this in-depth study draws parallels
between the captive Israelites and today’s believers.
Begins Sept. 16, 8:40–10:30 A.M. with Karen Lampinen at DCC,
childcare provided. $16

• Friday Morning: The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer

Tozer’s life and ministry were characterized by “a mighty longing
after God.” Studying The Pursuit of God can draw us into a deep,
abiding relationship with the One who “nourishes the soul.” This
spiritual masterpiece exposes the roadblocks that keep us from fully
knowing God, reveals our responsibility in the pursuit, and ultimately
leads us into the very presence of God Himself.
Begins Sept. 19, 9:00 A.M. at Lampinen’s.

Evenings

Understanding the Anger of God – A study of Micah, Nahum and Habakkuk begins on Sunday, September 21, at 5:30 PM in the Friendship Center. This study will be led by a teaching team of Bob and Marilee Watt and Marianne Wallace.

Micah: In the midst of despair, there is always hope, because God is the God of Hope. In the midst of corruption, there is always the Word of the Lord, the message of truth, because God is not silent.

Nahum: Can a nation forget God, act with great cruelty against another nation, and escape the judgment of God?

Habakkuk: The central truth of Habakkuk spurred a reformation in a troubled monk named Martin Luther. What will come to pass in and through your life as a result of studying truths written by this man of God?

Everyone is welcome to join us as we begin this practical study on September 21.

• Monday Evening: The Gospel of Mark: A Life-Changing Story.

A twelve week study from Life Lesson Series by Max Lucado. You’ve
been asked some important questions, but the grandest of them all is
an anthill compared to the Everest found in Mark. “Who do you say
that I am?” Every calmed storm answer given and parable taught is
a thundering reminder: “You are the Christ.” Mark, the shortest and
simplest of the four gospels gives a look at the life of Christ as a
Servant who constantly ministers to others.
Begins Sept. 15, 6:30 P.M. with Linda Reeves at DCC Friendship
Center $7

• Monday Evening: Women of Faith Series.

A twelve week study. Begins Sept. 15, 7:00 P.M. Off-campus.
