Mark
Sundays, 9:00 a.m., Calvary Chapel - resumes Jan. 8
The group will look at Jesus’ interaction with ordinary people as we study the ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Coming out of obscurity, this unique God-man preached, performed miracles, and encountered both great popularity and deadly opposition. The book’s distinctly non-Jewish flavor suggests it may have been written to Gentile believers in Rome. Mark portrayed Jesus as the Savior of the entire world—Gentiles as well as Jews.

Life in the Balance by Joni Eareckson Tada
Sundays, 9:00 a.m., Middle Hallway Classroom 4 - Jan. 22 - April 2
Never before has it been so important for Christians like you to discover the answers God's Word holds to our culture's biggest ethical and social dilemmas. Every day, the 24-hour news cycle offers stories from around the world of unimaginable physical, mental and emotional suffering. Yet more often than not, these stories and the underlying problems they represent are reported with no suggestions for resolution. Can it really be true that there are no solutions to our world’s biggest crises?
Joni Eareckson Tada refuses to believe it. On her TV show, she has interviewed scores of people who have faced life’s toughest battles and emerged victorious! In Life in the Balance, Joni and her colleagues take on difficult issues – abortion, autism, genocide, stem-cell research and others. But they don’t just tell the stories; they dig deep into the Word of God to find real and lasting solutions to so-called “unsolvable” problems.
Their goal is to help you apply the timeless yet timely truth of God’s Word to society’s greatest challenges.

The Bible in Seven Passages by Mike Mazzalango
Sundays, 10:30 a.m., Fellowship Hall - beginning Jan. 8
The class will begin with an introduction the first week, followed by seven weekly videos with handout guides. In
this series, Mike describes a future world where the Bible is no longer accessible, and believers have memorized 7 key passages
from the Scriptures in order to keep the faith that leads to salvation alive until Jesus returns. Both Old Testament and New
Testament passages are included.

JOY IN THE MORNING - WOMEN'S GROUP
"The World of the End" by Dr. David Jeremiah
Wednesdays, 9:30 a.m., Calvary Chapel - beginning Jan. 11
We may not be at the end of the world, but we are at the world of the end — a time when Bible prophecy is intersecting with our culture, technology, unhinged morality, and worldwide strife as never before. In his brand-new book, David Jeremiah unpacks Matthew 24:1-14 to help bring the voice of Jesus to the forefront of the political, spiritual, and global conversations centered on the condition of the world and the biblical connection to the events unfolding all around us. Join us to discover how the prophecies of Jesus can shape the way we live today and challenge us to prioritize our lives in light of His return!
Led by Stacey Nickels

Wednesdays, 6:30 p.m., Calvary Worship Center - Resumes Jan. 11
Dr. David Jeremiah offers answers to questions about biblical prophecy and the signs and signals that will precede the end of everything as we know it. He examines the prophetic writings from the Old and New Testaments to help you cut through the confusion and give you insights about God's plan for humankind as the end times draw near.
Led by Steve Lindskov

"One at a Time" by Kyle Idleman
Thursdays, 6:30 p.m. - beginning Jan. 12
Nobody grows up dreaming of waking up, going to work, heading home, watching Netflix, scrolling through social media, and then doing it all over again the next day until their last breath. We all want to be used to change the world. We don’t want to spend our lives being time-wasters, or space-takers, or binge-watchers, or game-players, or even book-readers. We want to be difference-makers. But it’s easy to get caught up in the everyday stuff of life until the years slowly go by, and with each passing year, the question seems to get louder: Am I making any difference in this world? We want to make a difference, but there are so many opinions on the way to do that. Maybe there’s a different way to make a difference, and we’re just missing it. Without a doubt, Jesus is the person who has made the biggest difference in all of history. So, how did Jesus make such a difference in this world? If we study the story of his life as recorded in the Gospels, there are a number of answers we could highlight, but there’s one particular phrase that captures how Jesus had such an impact, and this phrase is how he wants to use us to make a difference: one at a time. Making a difference isn’t measured by a viral post or a name on a building. It isn’t determined by a following or a fan base. Making a difference isn’t dependent on what’s in your bank account or who’s in your contacts. Want to make a difference? Focus on the one. That’s it. That’s the secret of the way of Jesus. One at a time.

"Unshakable Hope" by Max Lucado
Thursdays, 7:00 p.m. - beginning Jan. 12
This 12-session video Bible study will help you, your group, and your church stand on the definitive declarations of our mighty and loving God who governs the world according to his great and precious promises.
This world has a tremble to it. There are things that seem unsteady in this life. But when we belong to God, it allows us to filter our problems through the promises of God. We choose to be people of the promise, we choose to build our lives on the promises of God, not the circumstances of life. Like the men and women we read about in scripture, we can also build our lives on God's promises, and trust him to keep them.
