Bible Studies.
Studying the Bible together with other believers is a great way to grow in your walk with God. Below are Bible study opportunities at Fairway.
Sundays
BIBLE STUDY
9:00 am – Ezra and Nehemiah
Led by Tom Beckner
For centuries, these two books were treated as one volume narrating the return of God’s exiled people to their land under Persian rule. They tell of the restoration of God’s people according to His Word and the fresh call on their lives to obey. Ezra and Nehemiah show how God raised up leaders to oversee the rebuilding of the Temple and to protect it from both outside attacks from enemies and sin from within their camp as they reestablish their worship practices. This story offers a foreshadowing of Jesus, the ultimate Restorer who rebuilds lives and secures eternal salvation.
10:00 am – Paul’s Pastoral Letters
Led by Dan Smith
Written near the end of Paul’s life, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus are called “pastoral” letters because they give instructions to Paul’s younger co-workers on how to guide the churches with which they are working. In these letters we see Paul’s affection for these younger brothers and his intentional mentorship of their ministry. Paul casts a vision of pastoral ministry, offers advice about how to choose leaders, gives guidelines on Christian conduct, warns about false teachings, and encourages Timothy and Titus to be bold witnesses of their faith in Jesus Christ.
Tuesdays
TUESDAY WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY
9:00 am
“Romans— Live with Clarity” by Jada Edwards
In this Bible study, Jada Edwards brings the clarity that we need for what the gospel is and how we live it out. Romans is a deep dive into doctrine, not for knowledge’s sake, but for life change. Jada explores Paul’s articulation of our faith and what it looks like in practice: how we love people, how we make decisions, how we submit to authority, how we live in community, and how we foster unity
TUESDAY WOMEN’S PRECEPTS STUDY
9:00 am – In and Out
12:30 am – Precept Upon Precept
“Precept Upon Precept: Daniel—Part 1” (ESV)
Daniel, Part One: Threatened with death, Daniel stuck to his guns and refused to adopt a pagan lifestyle. His worldview had God at the center and he lived it out even under extreme pressure to change. Learn to adopt a biblical worldview and adhere to it even when it’s not the norm.
The Precept Method is similar to an inductive Bible study method, but which adds additional tools to enable a deeper level of Biblical engagement. There are two levels of study: 1) Precept Upon Precept—an intense study of Ephesians that will require approximately 5 or more hours of study time each week; 2) In and Out—a less intense approach that will take 2-3 hours of weekly study outside class.
Class time session consists of a one-hour class discussion.
Wednesdays
