Sunday Morning Adult Class
Pursuing Unity, Being the Body of Christ —
a 1 Corinthians
Journey
Begins August 24, 9:30am, Fellowship Hall
This year, you're invited to walk with others through the book of 1 Corinthians, one of the most honest, insightful, and challenging letters in the New Testament. Each week, we’ll place ourselves at the feet of Jesus, our Master Teacher, listening for the Voice of God through the words of Scripture.
1 Corinthians touches on many themes we're curious about today: unity that’s not uniformity, identity, relationships and friendships, purpose, integrity, worship, justice, love, and hope. We’ll wrestle with meaning and application, not for the sake of information alone, but for transformation—so that we can grow in Christ, together.
The First Few Weeks of Our New 1 Corinthians Class: Pursuing Christ-Centered Wisdom & Community
As we begin, we’ll explore what it means to grow as a people who are anchored in Christ, even amid our differences. Our conversations will reflect on questions like:
This is class about building something beautiful together, led by Christ at the center of our shared life.

We are excited for the start of some new and familiar rhythms this Fall. There's a neat group of adults leaders ready to explore faith and life with Jesus together with our children and youth. If anything looks new or you have questions you'd like to explore further, please reach out to me (Nathan), and I'd love to explain more of the hopes and reasoning behind what we're doing, in person or via email: nathan@calvarylincoln.org

Our Tuesday Bible Study is currently spending time in the book of Galatians. This is a great group filled with warm conversation, deep insight, and laughter.
The book of Galatians was written to churches in the region of Galatia where Paul had traveled on one of his missionary journeys (Acts 13-14). He wrote from a place of deep passion, telling people about Jesus—how He died, and rose again, to bring redemption. Key themes include:
-Unity of God’s people
-Jesus as fulfillment of the law
-New life through the power of the Spirit
