Take Ground | Jim & Sandy Eastling

Chaska

Wednesday at 7:00 PM

This group is designed to get into God's Word, grow in your relationship with Jesus and connect to others. We will read the Bible together following River Valley's SOAP method. We can't wait to get to know you! We will start the group with the "Take Ground" study guide that is inspired by this years vision that Pastor Rob shared in January. We believe that we are going to end the year strong as we take ground as a church and see you take ground personally!

Genesis Precept Study

Crosstown

Wednesday at 6:45 PM

This is a 26-week study of Genesis, the first book of the Bible. Precept is an inductive Bible study method whereby you let the text and the Holy Spirit teach you. There's a workbook for personal study followed by a 75-minute weekly group discussion every week. Genesis in structured in five parts, with Part 1 covering Chapters 1-2 (the Creation story) in four lessons. Part 2 starts on 11/11/23. Options for personal study include either "In-and-Out" (2 hours of weekly personal study) or the deeper "Precept-Upon-Precept" (four hours per week). Choose the depth of study that works best for your schedule. Workbooks can be ordered directly from the Precept website at precept.org > Shop > By Book of the Bible or Topic > Genesis > Precept-Upon-Precept or In-and-Out > ESV or NASB workbook > Part 1. The Part 1 workbooks are $7.00 or $9.00. I've studied by this method for over ten years, and I believe that it's one of the best ways to know the Bible and grow your faith. Finally, my plan is to follow Genesis with Revelation beginning in April 2024. The bookends; alpha and omega.

Empower | City Campus | Winter 2024

City

Tuesday at 6:30 PM

Empower is open to anyone at River Valley that has been through our Alpha; if you have not attended Alpha you will need to sign up for that. There is nothing more exciting than living a Spirit-filled empowered life! This 9 week Bible study will instruct, encourage, experience and inspire you to walk in all that Jesus has made available to you through the infilling of the Holy Spirit and the gifts that He imparts. These gifts are vital and need to be used in order to be effective witnesses for Him. In this study you will learn about the unseen world, which is called the Spirit realm. Even though we don't see it with our physical eyes, we interact with it on a daily basis. You will also learn in detail about each of the nine gifts of the Spirit and how they are used throughout the Old and New Testament by ordinary people. Finally, you will have the opportunity to deepen your relationship with the Lord through the lessons on prayer and intercession. Are you ready to get started? Our group will meet weekly at our campus on Tuesdays February 2 thru April 2, 6:30pm-8pm. Doors open and check in will be available beginning at 6pm. We will conclude our group by serving together on our 11th week - Wednesday April 17 at 7pm in Coon Rapids (ages 5+ are welcome to attend)
