This Bible study was led by several different speakers and produced by the Francis Asbury Society in 2023.
SUMMARY: In contrasting each of the seven deadly sins with their opposite virtues, we can gain insight and mature in holiness (see Colossians 3:5–17). Cultivating the cardinal virtues is not the solution for sin—only the atoning work of Christ does that—but it can lead to a healthy, holy life. In these 16 sessions, we’ll study each deadly sin in contrast to its opposite virtue so that we can grow in grace and be better equipped to present ourselves holy and pleasing to God, which is our spiritual act of worship (Romans 12:1).

Messianic Prophecies: A Series for Advent
2022-12-13 19:00 - 20:00, 2022-12-06 19:00 - 20:00, 2022-11-29 19:00 - 20:00
This study was led by Dr. John N. Oswalt, an American scholar and distinguished professor of Old Testament at Asbury Theological Seminary.
SUMMARY: It was an event that forever changed the course of human history. God came as one of his very own to save his own. The birth of the Messiah had been prophesied for thousands of years, yet many did not realize what had happened. In Advent 2022, Dr. John Oswalt looked at Old Testament prophecies of the coming Messiah. This 3-week series from the Francis Asbury Society helps orient you to celebrate anew the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.

Titus Women Bible Study - Stories of Faith
2022-11-15 09:00 - 10:30, 2022-11-08 09:00 - 10:30
For this fall we will look at testimony messages spoken in the Old Testament. These testimonies continually pointed people to God, telling of his love and faithfulness, praising his character and his provision, and reminding them of God’s sovereign authority over all of creation. We will look at who is speaking, who they are speaking to, and the response of those that were listening. As we reflect on what is being shared, we can learn better how to share our own stories of faith. We serve a compassionate, faithful, and loving God that reveals himself throughout the pages of Scripture. God wants us to share about his character. He wants us to tell others how he has been faithful. He wants us to always remember who he is and what he has done. When these heroes of the faith speak, we can observe, listen, learn, and imitate what they have said and done and leave a legacy of our own—a legacy of declaring our allegiance to follow Jesus 100% and to tell everyone we know about him.
Let’s have the passion and excitement of the woman at the well after her encounter with Jesus. “So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” (John 4:28–29).

Led by Dr. John N. Oswalt, an American scholar and distinguished professor of Old Testament at Asbury Theological Seminary.
SUMMARY: Humans are remarkably prone to foolish confidence which when destroyed leads to utter despair.
