Cold-Case Christianity
Scott Mundy

Have you ever wondered why we need four different gospel accounts? Join us for a Bible study based on Cold-Case Christianity by J. Warner Wallace, a former homicide detective. This entry-level apologetics class will examine the New Testament through the lens of eyewitness testimony, explore evidence from archaeology and extrabiblical historians, and consider classic theological arguments.
Book of Hebrews
Chaz Starnes
Worship Center
Join us for this new study through the book of Hebrews. Hebrews gives us a powerful picture of who Jesus is, what He has done for us, and why our faith in Him is worth holding onto. It challenges us to grow beyond the basics, remain faithful when life is difficult, and “run with endurance the race that lies before us.” Come prepared to open your Bible, ask questions, share your thoughts, and discover together why the message of Hebrews is just as important for the Church today as it was when it was first written.
