Evening Studies
Pray Like This: Living the Lord’s Prayer by Steve GainesMonday Evening
Prayer is the most dynamic discipline in the life of a believer, yet it may be the most misunderstood and the least taught. This six-session Bible study shows believers that following Jesus’ Model Prayer will lead them to fall more in love with God and grow in their desire to engage in conversation with Him. Impactful, inspiring video sessions introduced by Pastor Steve Gaines include interview segments with proven leaders: J. D. Greear, Robby Gallaty, Kelly Minter, Lisa Harper, Ed Litton, H. B. Charles, and more.
In this Bible study you will understand how seeing God as Father affects your prayer life, grasp the significance of God’s invitation to call on His holy name, learn how a prayerful posture leads to an understanding of God’s will, and develop spiritual maturity and a knowledge of God’s kingdom.
Colossians - Fullness of Life in Christ by Lydia BrownbackTuesday Evening (via Zoom)
Christ is the ruler of all things and sufficient for our every need. While Christians profess these truths, they sometimes struggle to apply this knowledge to their everyday lives. Thankfully, the book of Colossians offers a practical guideline, exalting Christ as the Lord of everything and showing believers how they share in his life, death, and resurrection in their lives now and for all eternity.
This 10-week Bible study for women explores Colossians verse by verse to help readers understand how the Christian life is meant to be lived through the risen Lord Jesus Christ. This study will help women live Christ-centered lives focused on the hope of the gospel and the person of Jesus Christ.
Precepts – 2 Peter and JudeTuesday Evening
The Precepts Bible Studies use the Inductive Bible study method, which uses the Bible itself as the primary source of information about the Bible. In Inductive study you personally explore the Scriptures apart from conclusions Bible scholars and other people have drawn from their study of the Word. Commentaries, books, and other information about the Bible are consulted only after you have made your own thorough examination of the Scripture. These, then, can serve as a sounding board for your own observation and conclusions. Inductive Bible study draws you into personal interaction with the Scripture and thus with the God of the Scriptures so that your beliefs are based on a prayerful, Spirit-led understanding and legitimate interpretation of Scripture – truth that transforms you when you live by it. Inductive Bible Study consists of three component parts which are observation, interpretation, and application.
This spring, the Tuesday evening Precepts class will be studying the books of 2 Peter and Jude. You can opt to register for both classes up front, or you can register for one at a time. For 2 Peter…in a day when false teachers are leading countless people astray, to live effectively for Christ we need to know the truth. Learn to live effectively and grow in spiritual discernment. For Jude…problems within the church prompted Jude to preach a strong message about God’s judgment of sin. Did you get the message? Learn more about the day of judgment in this timely study.
In selecting which book you’d like to purchase for this study, there are two different versions to choose from – ESV and NASB. In addition, you can choose the Precept Upon Precept Study (estimated 5 hrs/week of homework), or the In And Out Study (estimated 2 hrs/week of homework).
Daniel – LifeChange StudyWednesday Evening
How can we live faithfully amid the fires of opposition? How can we stay close to God when doubt seeks to devour us? Daniel the prayer warrior shows us how to keep God’s perspective always before us.
Zoom in on Daniel’s story and the pressures he faced to let go of God’s hand in his life. Then zoom out to see Daniel’s panoramic visions displaying God’s hand in human history. When adversity rolls in like a fog, Daniel reminds us how God’s perspective can give us a new vision.
We will meet on Wednesday nights at RBC from 7:15 to 8:45. Drop your teen off at small group and join us, or arrive after/leave before the Wednesday night small group traffic!
This study is a great option for women who bring their youth to small groups on Wednesday nights!
Truth Rising: A Christian’s Guide to this Civilizational MomentThursday Evening
If you’ve been feeling disoriented in the midst of rapid cultural change, you’re not alone. The good news is God hasn’t sent his people on a journey without a map. The Bible provides so much more than isolated stories, it gives us God’s True Story of the World- reality itself. It is through this lens we must see our moment.
In this study, we will first watch the Truth Rising documentary and then follow up with lessons that summarize each of the four essential ingredients we need to live out our calling with confidence: hope, truth, identity, and calling. Following the Truth Rising lessons, we will have 3 sessions on Christian worldview and how we can impact culture through a Biblical lens.

This spring, the Thursday morning Precepts class will be studying the book of Ezekiel, part 2. The watchman speaks hope from the Lord. God will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken and strengthen the sick. He will set over them one Shepherd and He will feed them Himself. Then they will know that He is the Lord and they are His people.
In selecting which book you’d like to purchase for this study, there are two different versions to choose from – ESV and NASB. In addition, you can choose the Precept Upon Precept Study (estimated 5 hrs/week of homework), or the In And Out Study (estimated 2 hrs/week of homework).
2 Corinthians: The Authentic Christian Life by Dr. David JeremiahThursday Morning
You’re invited to a 13-week deep dive into the powerful and challenging book of 2 Corinthians, a letter packed with wisdom for how to live out this bold, countercultural, seemingly impossible Christian life.
Come learn with your sisters, in community, in Scripture, and in the presence of God. This isn’t surface-level. This is for women hungry for more; more of His Word, more of His truth, and more of His transforming power.
Whether you’re walking through chaos or calm, Paul’s letter to the Corinthian church has something life-giving for you:
- Real answers for real struggles
- A fresh understanding of grace, love, unity, and holiness
- Strength for the journey, and sisters to walk it with you
Join us as we grow together, go deep together, and live the life that only Christ can make possible.
The Way of WisdomThursday Morning
The book of Proverbs describes godly wisdom as a path that leads to life and flourishing. It also warns of the folly of worldly wisdom as a path that leads to the grave. Every day we face the choice between the true riches of God’s instruction or the fool’s gold of earthly pleasures and pursuits. How often do we call to mind the wisdom found in the sayings of Proverbs to shed light on the path before us? How relevant do we even believe these ancient words are to our modern world?
In The Way of Wisdom, Bible teachers Jen Wilkin, Ruth Chou Simons, Kelly Minter, Adrienne Camp, Elizabeth Woodson, and Courtney Doctor invite you to place your feet firmly on the path of life revealed in the book of Proverbs. As you consider wisdom principles on everyday topics like words, work, friendship, marriage, parenting, neighborliness, money management, leadership influence, and more, you’ll discover the wisdom of Proverbs as an invitation to steadily walk God’s way in God’s world
Growing Strong in God’s Family, Book One of the Navigators 2:7 SeriesThursday Morning
This is a course in personal discipleship aimed at strengthening your walk with God. It is a foundational course that deals with the essentials of Christian life as a disciple and a disciple maker, and is intended for new and seasoned believers who want to grow as a disciple of Jesus Christ and learn to make disciples.
The goals for this class are as follows:
- Faithful: For a Christian to become built up in Christ and strengthened in her faith. This course includes instruction in practical Bible study, scripture memory skills, how to sharpen one’s devotional life, and how to be more effective in sharing their faith. The objective is to become consistent in these disciplines rather than to accumulate Bible knowledge.
- Available: For a Christian to learn to overflow with thankfulness in everyday life. The course will help an individual learn to experience and enjoy a stable and consistent daily walk with Christ.
- Teachable: For a Christian to be taught. The learning that strengthens our life does not come from lectures. Over time we see life transformation if we stay consistent in scripture, listening to the prompting of the Holy Spirit and applying what we learn.
This is an excellent class to strengthen your journey of discipleship. However, there are expectations that come with choosing to participate in this class in order for you to get the most out of it. These include: homework involving daily Bible reading/meditation, memorizing one verse per week/lesson, prayer and weekly communication outside of the meeting. Second, a high level of attendance and commitment to come prepared having completed all homework for those lessons. Before you register, the leaders are requesting to please check your calendars to be able to commit to attending at least 9 out of the 11 lesson days.
