Bible Study: Intro to the Bible

Location: Alliance Community Church
Time: Sunday Evenings 6:30-8:00pm (Beginning October 20)
Description: Are you new to your faith, feeling overwhelmed by how much there is learn but having no idea where to even begin? Perhaps you have attempted to read the Bible, but have quickly become confused as to how any of it could possibly be relevant to us today. Or maybe you are simply looking for a safe place to ask questions about matters related to God, Christianity, and the Bible. If so, this is the study for you! Over the course of 12 weeks, (6 weeks before Christmas and 6 weeks after) we will lay a basic foundation for understanding the Bible, covering its overarching storyline to discover how we ourselves fit into the story. We will use the stories of the Bible to reveal some of the basic beliefs of the Christian faith. Most importantly, we will discover that the Bible is all about Jesus on every page. So join us as we begin what will hopefully become a lifetime of growth and discovery in the Word of God!
Bible Study: The Book of 1 Corinthians with Jennie Allen
For: Women
Facilitator: Donna May
Contact: Phone # 403-818-0552, dmay765@gmail.com
Location: Alliance Community Church
Time: Thursday mornings 9:00am-11:00am (Beginning September 19th)
Description:
Christianity calls us to sacrifice instead of living for oneself. We have to choose one or the other—we can't do both. The Christians in Corinth tried to live the Christian life in a worldly way. Paul wrote the letter of 1 Corinthians to a divided and self-centered people to remind them to follow Jesus and only Jesus.
In this 12-part series, author and speaker Jennie Allen walks into the messy lives of the Corinthians and takes us through Paul’s words to the conflicted church. We'll see how the truth of the gospel and the Spirit of God can empower us to choose to follow Jesus every day of our lives.

Description: Thriving In Babylon- Larry Osborne
These are confusing times for many Christians. Traditional biblical values are not only rejected; it seems as if they're attacked on every front. It's all happened at warp speed, leaving many of us spiritually and culturally disoriented or even fearful, frustrated, and angry. How can we spiritually survive in an increasingly spiritually hostile environment? And is there any hope for the next generation?
In this 5-session series, Larry Osborne introduces us to a man forced to live in a fast-changing and godless society. This man faced fears about the future, concern for his safety, and the discouragement of a world that seemed to be falling apart at warp speed. That man was Daniel, and with the power of hope, humility, and wisdom, he not only survived, but thrived.
Each session also includes real-life stories of people struggling to thrive in an ever-increasing godless society. Though Daniel lived thousands of years ago, he has much to teach us today.

Description: This Bible study is designed not only to learn the importance of grounding ourselves in the Word of God, but learning the skills in doing that. God’s Word needs to permeate our thinking concerning life. (Guiding us, strengthening us, maturing us, establishing us.)
The Bible says that “without faith it is impossible to please Him.” Hebrews 11:6 and “whatsoever is not from faith is sin.” Romans 14:23. Growing in faith is a process that will be going on through out our life. How to accomplish this will we will learn from what God’s Word says about this.
