Bible
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.

SPRING QUARTER | SUNDAY STUDIES
The Book of Galatians (Feb – April)
Galatians was written because the churches of that region were facing a theological crisis. The essential truth of justification by faith rather than by human works was being denied by the Judaizers—legalistic Jews who insisted that Christians must keep the Mosaic Law. In other words, convert to Judaism first, and then you are eligible to become a Christian. When Paul learned that this heresy was being taught to the Galatian churches, he composed a letter to emphasize our liberty in Christ and to counter the perversion of the gospel that the Judaizers promoted. One of the main themes of the book of Galatians is found in 3:11: “The righteous shall live by faith.” We must stand firm in this truth. Any compromise with legalism or the mixture of human effort and the grace of God for salvation leads to heresy. This is a challenge Christians still face today. Join us as we seek to better understand one of Paul’s earliest letters and grow in our faith and understanding of the pure Gospel message of Christ.

Our mid-week Bible studies are intergenerational and cover a variety of textual and topical studies. Join us each Wednesday night for Bible study at 7PM.
A STUDY OF 2 PETER
Ben Thompson | Auditorium
Peter was alarmed that false teachers were beginning to infiltrate the churches. He called on Christians to grow and become strong in their faith so that they could detect and combat the spreading apostasy. He strongly stressed the authenticity of the Word of God and the sure return of the Lord Jesus. Through television and other means of mass communications, mature Christians are aware that many are parading as true Christian leaders, and that immature Christians have been “taken in” by their quackery and false interpretation of Scriptures. Christians to be grounded in the Word so that we will be able to discern truth from error. The same prescription for growth in faith that Peter gave (2 Peter 1:5-11), when applied to our lives, will assure us also a rich reward “into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:10-11). The foundation for our faith is and always will be the same Word of God that Peter preached
WORDS OF LIFE LADIES CLASS
Multiple Leaders | Echo Room
When we go through difficult times and even wonderful times, God has given us something that is constant, His word. In this class, we will hear from some of our own sisters as they share the scriptures that have carried them through different life circumstances both good and bad.
THE MEN WE NEED
Multiple Leaders | Fellowship Room
How to be the men God intended us to be, keepers of the garden. Seven teachers will be working through the book, “The Men We Need: God’s purpose for the Manly Man, the Avid Indoorsman, or Any Man Willing to Show Up” by Brant Hansen. This will be a more in depth study of the book introduced at the most recent Men’s Retreat.
GOD ACCORDING TO GOD
Mike Baker | 206A
Have you ever been in a situation where you were asked to introduce yourself? What do you say? Do you share past accomplishments, your present situation or maybe what you want to do in the future? Introductions are important and are often stressful for us. In Exodus 34:6-7 God introduced Himself in this way – The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.” This quarter we are going to look at that introduction and discuss each of those attributes and what it means to us today. Join us as we take a look at God, according to God.
