Studies
We believe in growing disciples of Jesus. A big part of growing in Christ comes from learning more about God’s word, the Bible. Madison is a place where you can ask questions and reason together with other Christians to learn more about the life Christ calls us to live.
Join us for Bible Study on Sundays at 5:00PM and Wednesdays at 7:00PM. Our Sunday studies are divided into general age and life stage groups while our Wednesday night studies are multigenerational. We encourage you to join any study that you are interested in.
Schedule A Bible Study
We would love the opportunity to study the Bible with you! We believe the Bible is God’s word. It is inspired by Him and given to us to better understand who He is and better understand the life He calls us to live.

SUNDAY STUDIES
Love Your Neighbor
Love your neighbor. That is one of those phrases we use so often it is easy to tune it out. It has lost its meaning. “Love your neighbor as yourself” wasn’t something Jesus came up with. It was around long before him, written into the Jewish law. So when Jesus confirmed that loving your neighbor as yourself was of the utmost importance, he wasn’t saying anything new to his audience. It’s how he suggested we love our neighbor and who he defined as our neighbor that was radical. And how are we supposed to love our neighbors? Jesus’ answer is really difficult but very clear: by totally altering our plans and path to go above and beyond in caring for people without ever expecting anything in return. The way Jesus talked about it, loving your neighbor is wholly inconvenient, wildly selfless, and nearly impossible to do well all the time. In this class, we will discuss this command and who is our neighbor. Our goal will be loving our literal neighbors like Jesus did.

WEDNESDAY BIBLE STUDY
Our mid-week Bible studies are inter-generational studies that cover a variety of textual and topical studies. Join us each Wednesday night for Bible study at 7PM.
SERMONS FROM DEUTERONOMY
Tony Hoover & Mark Kelly | Auditorium
There are some big questions in Deuteronomy. Questions like: How do we remain faithful to God in the midst of pressure to forget God? How do God’s people live in harmony in the midst of changing surroundings? How do we serve God in abundance and in loss? This study is not a “front-to-back” exhaustive treatment of Deuteronomy. Rather, the focus is narrowed to particular sermons and their content. The lessons aim to hear these sermons afresh for today’s context and make appropriate applications.
STUDY IN THE BIBLE
Mike Baker | Echo Room
Since the Bible is God’s Word, studying it is a way to know God better. Through His words, we come to know not only the nature and attributes of God, but we also come to understand His plan for each of us. In a larger sense, we also come to know God’s plan in history, His sovereignty, His providence, His love, and more. There is only so much we can learn about God apart from the Bible. But with it we can know God better. We will focus on observing what scripture says, making interpretations based on those observations, and how to apply what we find.
THE LIFE OF MOSES
Richard Turner | 201A
Embark on a journey through the book of Exodus as we delve into Moses’s remarkable life and leadership. This Bible class will uncover the pivotal moments, divine encounters, and timeless lessons embedded in the narrative of Moses, from his miraculous birth to his leadership of the Israelites through the wilderness. Life application, discussion, historical background, and similarities between the accounts of Moses and Jesus will be prioritized in each class.
THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW (Chps 14-28)
Robert Bobo & David Dycus | 206A
This fall, we will continue our study of the gospel of Matthew which started in the spring of 2024. We will be covering Matthew chapters 14-28. Matthew has been described as the most important book of the Christian faith. Historians tell us this was the early church’s most widely read and quoted book. Matthew bridges the gap between the testaments. Matthew wrote from the perspective of Old Testament prophecies to demonstrate New Testament fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Matthew is the first to mention the church by name. Matthew presents Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah and King.
