Study of God’s Word is essential to spiritual growth. This is part of our “life blood” at NPC. Whether it is personal or group study, we want to be interacting with Scripture so that we see that it is “living and active” today. Though there are different approaches to Bible study, we emphasize the inductive study approach – discovering for ourselves (guided by a teacher/facilitator through the skills of observation, interpretation, and application) the meaning and personal application of the text.

Mid-Week Studies for Women

MOMS (Mothers Of Many Seasons) 

Do you have trouble knowing what to pray for?  How to pray?   Then "The Power of a Praying Woman" by Stormie O'Martin might be the book study for you!  And as Stormie says, "It doesn't matter what age you are, what your marital status is, what the condition of your body and soul is, or how long you have or have not been a believer - if you are a woman, this book is for you" 

With discussion topics such as "Lord, Guide Me in All My Relationships" "Lord, Keep Me in the Center of Your Will" and "Lord, Instruct Me as I Put My Life in Right Order" just to name a few there is bound to be something that will encourage you or grow you in your prayer life.  Mark your calendars as Mothers of MANY Seasons (MOMS) moves to Tuesday morning from 9-11am starting September 14th.  Contact Elaine Darville for more information or  sign up at the information counter.

Monday Morning Precepts

GO DEEP...with Precept Upon Precept Bible Study for Women

Inductive Bible Study shows you how to discover God's Truth for yourself. Precept Upon Precept Studies uses a straightforward investigative approach to open the Bible and build the context for each statement it contains. That's where we find God's precepts—or principles—for life. Inductive study is the tool our students use to collect those precepts to build a God-glorifying, Bible-centered worldview with clear applications to live the abundant, victorious life in Christ. This class will meet on Monday mornings from 9:00 - 11:00 a.m. beginning September 20, 2010 join us as we study the Book of Genesis 1.

Monday Evening Bible Study:

The Monday Night Bible Study will be starting up again on September 13, 2010.  We will continue to use “The Amazing Collection” curriculum.  This series covers all 66 books of the Bible, one book per week.  Our first session will cover 1 Chronicles through Esther and will run for 5 weeks.  Additional 5 or 6 week sessions will follow.

Class will meet at the church on Monday nights from 7:00-8:30.  Each week there will be a teaching video and time for prayer and discussion of the previous week’s homework.  Workbooks cost $10 and will be required for each session.  Because each week covers a different book of the Bible, you can join us at any time during the year without having to “catch up”.
