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.

WINTER 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.

A Cross-shaped Life: A Study of 1 Peter

Robby Jones | Auditorium

Christians in the Roman Empire had to navigate numerous cultural challenges as their faith put them at odds with the surrounding culture. Peter’s instructions to these Christians living in “exile” are helpful even to us today as we learn how to live cross-shaped lives among the wider culture. Join Robby Jones in the auditorium as he leads us in a study through the book of 1 Peter.

SINGING CLASS

Multiple Leaders | Echo Room

Colossians 3:16 says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” This quarter we will teach and admonish one another
through singing and edification. Each class will have a theme that will consist of a mixture of old and new songs along with scriptures and prayers. Join us each week as we teach and admonish one another with praise, glory and honor to God. Join us in the echo room each Wednesday for an uplifting night of singing praises to God!

FAITHFUL WORDS: A STUDY OF THE PSALMS

Barry Smith | 201A

The Psalms give voice to all seasons of life. We see psalms for seasons of orientation, when life is good and everything is moving just fine. Other times, we are in a season of disorientation, when our grief or our sin weigh heavy and we cry out to god. Finally, we may find ourselves in a season of new orientation, when we look back at the pit we were in and give thanks to God for his faithfulness through the journey. This study will move us from orientation, through disorientation, and onto new orientation. Learners in all seasons of life will find their voices echoed in these psalms. Join Barry Smith for an in-depth study through the Psalms.

ENCOUNTERS WITH GOD

Andrew Itson & Jason Helton | 206A

Many times in scripture, people have a direct encounter with God. Sometimes it happens in a vision; other times, it’s in a dream. Some people hear directly from God. While we might not encounter God in these exact same ways, we can learn more about who God is and what it means to follow him by studying these different encounters.
