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.

SUNDAY STUDIES
Studying Psalms to Improve Our Prayer Life
How should we pray? What do we pray for? Do we really believe God answers prayer? How can we have a better prayer life? These are questions we all struggle with. We typically do not go to the Psalms when we think about improving our prayer life. However, the Psalms are filled with prayers. We see prayers that are honest expressions of pain and joy written by people in the midst of storms and real-life circumstances. We see prayers that are different from the ones we typically say. What applications are there for us by studying these prayers? Throughout the quarter, we will look at various Psalms and discuss how they might improve our prayer life.

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.
Genesis
Ron Thomas | Auditorium
The book of Genesis, meaning “creation” or “generation,” is the first book of the Bible. Genesis is foundational to our core beliefs. Genesis explains how we got here, where stars, oceans, animals, and all things came from. It tells us what there is sin and death in the world, why there are different languages, and the are groups of people with different characteristics. Genesis defines God’s plan for gender, as well as His plan for marriage. The Gospel itself is founded in Genesis. We need a Savior because Adam sinned and brought separation between man and God. Genesis contains the first prophesy of Jesus, who would overcome death and provide reconciliation. Join us as we look at this important and fascinating book.
Ladies Class
Echo Room
In Psalm 139:14 David states, “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” David recognized the care and attention God gave as he handcrafted his unique and wonderful creation. During the quarter, Karen Entrekin, Sandra Daneri, Becky Kelly, and Julie Mobley will focus on one aspect of God’s creation: our mental health, which determines how we feel about ourselves and how we cope with the pressures we face daily. We will also look at ways to improve our mental health to live healthier and happier lives serving God and others.
The Man of God
Moderated by: Mike Baker & Jason Helton | Fellowship Room
Our culture has lost its definition of manhood. This had led to confusion about men’s roles, responsibilities, and relationships! Paul said to Timothy, “But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness” (1 Timothy 6:11). What does it take to be a “man of God”? What does it take to become one? The man of God is a man of honor, integrity and commitment. He’s a man who centers his life on the ways of his Creator. Join us as we look at the Biblical definition of masculinity and study how we can become the men that God wants us to be.
The Gospel of Matthew
Robert Bobo & David Dycus | 206A
Matthew has been described as the most important book of the Christian faith. Historians tell us this was the most widely read and quoted book of the early church. 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.
