RLC Bible Study

We offer several options for bible study at RLC and scriptures are a central focus of our sermon messages. For more information on these studies, see our Bible Study Groups and Adult Sunday School Class.

RightNow Media
A Gift from RLC to You

During 2016, we are trying out a program called RightNow Media.  It is sort of like a combination of a Christian Netflix and a communication and training resource. There are dozens of Christian videos for children. There are over 10,000 videos and hundreds of adult study programs, many of these are from the most popular Christian teachers and authors. 

Topics Include:
• Living as Christian men or Christian women
• Marriage
• Finances
• Studies for specific books of the Bible
• Prayer

Access to These Resources
So how do you get access to these resources?  You give Pastor Mark your email address.  That’s it.  You will get an invitation to join, and once you do so, you are connected.
But this is more than just a Christian Netflix of resources. 

Gives Us New Ways to Connect
Right Now Media also gives us a way to connect with each other for small group discussions, studies and prayer.  The connection and communication aspects of this resource will be used more and more as we get more people connected.
This will also be a way to invite people not in our area to participate in studies or view sermons, etc.  People from all over the world can be part of the ministry of RLC.

See What You Think
Check it out for yourself, and if you like, invite your friends or relatives around the country or the world to join.

New in 2016: Intentional Living

As a church we are beginning 2016 by focusing on our identity in Christ.  During Lent, we will transition to the identity of Jesus – who he is and what he came to do for us.  Once we have some clarity on who we are and who Jesus is, we will be ready to respond by spending the rest of the year focusing on (based on knowing who we are and who Jesus is) how we are to live.

Pilot Group to Review Program and Develop Strategy for Congregation-wide Launch
The plan is to have a pilot small group going through a book and program by John Maxwell entitled Intentional Living between now and Easter.  Our group will be led by Katherine Dawson (who is an official trainer for John Maxwell) and will include Pastor Mark, Dr. Paul Francel, Nathan and Nicole Johns, Byrona Maule and CW West.  We will meet Thursday nights to do the program as a small group and come up with a strategy to lead the whole congregation as we begin using the program after Easter.
 
Intentional Living
So often it is only by being intentional in our actions that we end up actually doing something.  This program is meant to inspire and equip us as individual church members and as a congregation to move beyond good intentions into intentionally living as God’s people for the sake of the world around us.  By the end of the year we expect to have many testimonies of what God has done in and through us by being more intentional about the way we live our faith.
