Sept. 18-Dec. 4: Culture Shock by Chip Ingram – Culture Shock brings meaningful, God-honoring conversation to hot topics in the world today that we as Christians struggle to talk about, and even think about. We live in a culture where issues like sex, homosexuality, abortion, the environment, and the church and politics are front and center, and we have an unprecedented opportunity to share with others how God wants us to address these topics. More than ever before, believers must develop convictions based on research, reason, and biblical truth. But it doesn’t stop there. It’s equally important that you’re able and willing to communicate these convictions with a love and respect that reflects God’s love.

Sept. 25-Nov. 27: Psalm 119 – Even the most mature believers face dark nights of the soul. During those times, God seems distant, his Word feels dry, and the vibrant intimacy we knew before seems absent, leaving us wondering, “Where is the Lord in this?” In Psalm 119, Matt Chandler aims to introduce viewers to the words of King David, who experienced similar seasons of life. Serving as the anchor for the study, Psalm 119 demonstrates the power of God’s Word in the lives of believers and its ability to provide a warm blanket for the soul.

Women’s Study

9:30am // K-Chapel (Room 118)

Sept. 13-Oct. 18: Prayer by Phillip Yancey – What is prayer? How does it work? And more importantly, does it work? In theory, prayer is the essential human act, a priceless point of contact between us and the God of the universe. In practice, prayer is often frustrating, confusing, and fraught with mystery. Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? is an exploration of the mysterious intersection where God and humans meet and relate. Yancey explores such questions as:

• Is God listening?
• Why should God care about me?
• If God knows everything, what’s the point of prayer?
• Why do answers to prayer seem so inconsistent and capricious?
• Why does God seem sometimes close and sometimes far away?
