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.
Study By Mail
Study the Bible at your own pace through mail-in Bible studies. You can study the Bible at a pace that suits your life stage with regular feedback from one of our correspondence teachers.

SUMMER QUARTER | SUNDAY STUDIES
Forming A Scripture-Based Worldview
We all see the world through our own lenses or filters. These lenses or filters are shaped by events or stories we experience; by our background and context; by what we read, watch, and consume. Essentially, this means every human has his/her own biases. It’s impossible to be completely objective. We are all shaped by our backgrounds and experiences. These form the lenses or filters through which we see the world.
Each week, we’ll look at a common false story (like we discussed earlier in today’s lesson). We’ll talk about how we buy into it, and then we’ll see how people in the Bible bought into similar false stories. It’s not just about “getting it right.” We’ll see that Christianity offers the best way to look at the world. In fact, a robust Christian worldview should in fact be evangelistic, in that others look at us and want to see the world the way we do.

2025 MID-WEEK SUMMER SERIES
SPRING QUARTER | WEDNESDAY BIBLE STUDY
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.
THE HOLY SPIRIT
David Wade | Rom 201
This class will be an in-depth study of the Holy Spirit. We will be studying who He is and how God the Spirit worked in the Old and New Testaments, and how he still works today. The class goal is to know God better and to understand how He works in the world to achieve his purpose.
THE WORDS OF LIFE: LADIES CLASS
Various Speakers | Echo Room
In difficult times and even in wonderful times, God has given us something 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.
WORDS OF WISDOM
Various Speakers | Rm 206A
Proverbs 13:20 tells us, “Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise…” This quarter, several of our seasoned men of faith will share spiritual lessons from their lives and the Scriptures that shaped them. Each week, a different brother will offer practical insight on following Christ through work, family, trials, and everyday decisions. Together we’ll listen, learn, and encourage one another toward deeper faith and obedience. Come ready to be strengthened—and to receive and pass on wisdom from one generation to the next.
ESTHER: GOD’S PROVIDENTIAL QUEEN
Michael Manasco | Auditorium
The story of Esther is known both inside and outside the Church. Historians note evidences in the text that root the event in historical record. Many Jewish families continue to celebrate the events of the book as a sacred holiday. Children in our own bible classes learn of the courageous queen who risked it all to save her people. The story has all the elements of an epic tale fit for stage and screen: a lustful king, conspiracies, a spiteful villain, and unlikely heroes in a seemingly unwinnable situation. Today, we often hear of Esther as the book where God’s name is never mentioned in the text; however, a closer read reveals to us that God is in fact on full display. Through Esther, God uses a queen to reveal His own absolute sovereignty. Where we see coincidences, God invites us to perceive His providential plans. Queen Esther and her uncle Mordecai reveal what happens when we trust in God and seek His courage, in contrast to the fate of those who turn to their own selfish hearts, as Haman did. Join us as we explore the courage of Esther together, and work to open our eyes to God’s providence and how we each must step up, as Esther 4:14 says, “for such a time as this.”
A NEW DAY: A 12 STEP CHRIST-CENTERED CLASS
David Hargett | Rm 201A
This class is a supportive fellowship where men and women come together to apply the spiritual principles of the Twelve Steps in their daily lives. The goal is to deepen our spiritual connections with God, with others, and with ourselves. By sharing and practicing these principles, we seek personal growth and healing within a safe and respectful environment.
