During Sunday School

The Chosen: Season 1

This Fall, beginning Sunday, Sept. 14, families are invited to come together at 9:45 am, in the Fellowship Hall, to watch and discuss the groundbreaking television series about the life of Jesus, “The Chosen.”

At the heart of the series, is the question:
What Does It Mean to Be Chosen? 

Together, we will see that being chosen by Jesus has beautiful and far-reaching implications – although it says even more about the Chooser than the choosees. We are loved because He is love. We are saved because He is merciful. We belong to the family of God because Jesus invites us, making the Bible and all its promises as true for us today as it was for God’s chosen people.

What does it actually mean to be Chosen? To answer that question, we’re going Old (school) – Testament that is – which leads us back to the New. Which always leads us directly to Jesus. Along with the series, participants will receive a copy of Amanda Jenkins, Dallas Jenkins, and Dr. Douglas S. Huffman’s Bible Study book, “What Does It Mean to Be Chosen?: An Interactive Bible Study resource which compliments the series. After viewing part or the whole of each episode, we will break into table groups for discussion, utilizing the study book and our Bibles.

Listen to what other brothers and sisters are saying about this series…

“I have truly been enjoying the series “The Chosen”. This has helped me to understand some of the story much better. I love the fact it always points back to the truth of the Bible.”

“My church lifegroup did this study. It is an amazing study. I was definitely all in through this study. I completely recommend it. I am looking forward to the season 2 study!”

NEW SMALL GROUP BIBLE STUDY FOR WOMEN

Beginning Wednesday, November 19, 10:30 am | Facilitated by Ruth Huck

“Finally be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power” (Ephesians 6:10). Paul penned these words to a group of believers who endured severe persecution for their faith. Each day, they were confronted with new attacks from their spiritual enemy against their faith in Christ, their love for one another, their calling as God’s ambassadors in the world, and in their heavenly Father. So, Paul encouraged them—each day—to stand strong and “put on the full armor of God” so they could take their stand “against the devil’s schemes” (verse 11). Jesus described the nature of this enemy when He said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.” But He also promised, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10). Today, the enemy has been seeking to steal much from God’s followers. For this reason, we need to “suit up” and make sure we are equipping each piece of God’s armor—truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, the Word of God, prayer—so that we can see through Satan’s schemes, stand strong in God’s power, and repeal the enemy attacks. This study by bestselling author Jim Cymbala will guide participants on how to recognize they are in a spiritual war, understand the enemy’s plots against them, and develop practical strategies for fighting back. He will reveal that as believers in Christ, we have been given everything we need to stand strong and take the fight to the enemy. As we do, we will recognize—in the words of the apostle Paul—that God “gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57 NLT).

This small group study is for women of PCC, as well as their friends and family members!
