Discipleship Short Term Groups
2 Peter - 6-week study led by Kyle Idleman on video
April 12 - May 17
Sundays, 11:00 AM – 12:15 PM
59 Worthen Road, Room 205
Facilitators: Doug Mostrom, Esther Hu, Herbert Couvre, Bo Kaufmann
Repeated over Zoom on Wednesday nights (contact Bo Kaufmann at
for the Zoom link).
Can we trust Scripture? Why is God taking so long to set everything right? What should Christians focus on in the meantime? Confusion about how and why God acts the way he does has always troubled the church. That's why the apostle Peter warned the early church about patterns of false teaching that could lure people away from trusting in God.
This six-week study will show that regardless of the century, culture, or innovation, we can be confident that God will ultimately accomplish his purposes. As we wait for Jesus to return in judgment and glory, we must make every effort to become more like him in everything we do.

Revelation: The Unveiling of Jesus Christ
September 28, 2025 – June 28, 2026
Sundays, 11:00 AM – 12:15 PM
59 Worthen Road, Room 204
Matt Giamarco
“Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and keep what is written in it...” (Revelation 1:3). — Revelation opens with John reporting what he received. John, the human author of Revelation, is speaking by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It is John addressing the churches (cf. Rev 1:4; 22:8). Of course, the blessing ultimately comes from God, but the voice in 1:3 is John’s narrator voice.
The course is a 40-week walk through the book of Revelation—hearing Christ’s messages to the churches, tracing God’s sovereign plan, and fixing our hope on the victory of the Lamb! I repeat.. THE VICTORY OF THE LAMB!!
A 183-page, wire-bound workbook (with suggested answers in the back) will keep us grounded in Scripture each week. It can be downloaded from: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sx1HdhXmhmSPMTE2Lfk-fUaMTCGiRbUh/view
We’ll use an inductive Bible study approach - letting Scripture lead and shape our conclusions. The questions are designed to keep us focused on the text at hand:
- Objective (Observation) question — What does the passage say?
- Interpretive questions — What does it mean (in context, to the first hearers, in light of the whole Bible)?
- Application question — How should we respond in faith and obedience?
- Discussion-prompt questions — To deepen conversation, accountability, and encouragement.
We’ll pause for fellowship and reflection with Revelation-themed potlucks and open-forum reviews on 2/22/25 (mid-term) and 6/28/26 (finale). No “bowls of wrath”—just bowls of chili. Please note we will be doing a lesson so the potluck celebration will follow.
