Wesleyan Small Groups
This Fall, FMC Core Groups will read and discuss the book “The Class Meeting: Reclaiming a Forgotten (and Essential) Small Group Experience.” This study will help participants gain an appreciation for the small group model that led to significant growth and momentum for Early Methodists and how they can include this pathway to personal transformation in their own practice of discipleship. This model is still relevant for Methodists today, as it will help participants move into a deeper formational experience. Whereas classes and small groups based primarily on an informational model leave group members in awe of the expertise of the leader, the formational model of Wesleyan Small Groups empower every believer to live and share their faith. The expert in these gatherings is not the leader, but is instead the Holy Spirit. By focusing on transformational conversations rather than informational curriculum, the heart of our faith more easily flows through our everyday lives. Register for a group here.
Midweek Daytime Bible Studies
Epic of Eden Bible Study – Deborah – Unlikely Heroes and the Book of Judges
This in-depth Bible study featuring sought-after speaker and teacher Sandra Richter, unpacks why the book of Judges remains critical to our devotional lives today.
The Book of Judges narrates one of the most chaotic and morally dark eras of Israel’s story. Many speak of it as Israel’s “Wild West,” where the heroes and the villains stand only inches apart. Into this morally-ambiguous time comes one of the most unlikely leaders of the biblical text—the prophet Deborah. She is a wife and mother in an entirely patriarchal world, yet due to her integrity and courage, she transforms chaos into order and leads Israel in one of the most pivotal victories of the settlement period.
Illustrating the era of the Judges by means of the archaeological record, historical geography, and the hard facts of warfare in the ancient world, this study draws students immediately into the grand tale of Deborah and Barak, Jabin and Sisera, and of course the most unlikely of leaders, Jael. This study compels the modern reader to ask and answer three critical questions:
What territory can you see from where you’re standing that you know belongs to the Kingdom, but is not yet won?
Is it worth fighting for?
Are you willing to step out on faith and trust God for the victory?
