In this 6-week study based on M. Scott Byrom’s Seeing Money God’s Way, we’ll be discussing how to make wise, biblical decisions on all aspects of our finances, including investing, taxes, giving, retirement planning, social security, and Medicare.

In Seeing Money God’s Way: Your Guide to Biblical Stewardship, you will learn:

• The principles followed by figures from the Bible who made and maintained wealth, and how those lessons carry over to the present
• How to consider various risks (stock market, inflationary, etc.)
• How to use various containers (Roth IRA, 401k, etc.) to maximize tax benefits
• A biblical view of giving and how to embrace opportunities to be good stewards
• An explanation of taxes with relevant tax planning techniques
• Many more elements viewed through a biblical, Christian lens

The book, Seeing Money God’s Way: Your Guide to Biblical Stewardship by M. Scott Byrom, CFP, is optional but encouraged. It is available at nhc.click/wise and other booksellers. If you purchase the book, please read Chapter 1 before the first class.

Chew the Word is more than a study; it’s a transformative journey towards freedom and peace with food. If you are a Christian woman who is tired of the endless cycle of overeating, stress eating, and preoccupation with food, then this study is designed specifically for you! This simple but introspective study format will provide you with the tools and guidance you need to break free from the chains of food struggles. Ask the Lord to guide you in finding YOUR “how to eat” in the pages of His Word.

By aligning your thoughts about food with Biblical truth, you’ll increase your food freedom, grow in your relationship with God, and more deeply embrace His grace! This study may empower you to break free from the burdens of overeating, emotional eating, guilt, and condemnation, enabling you to eat for the glory of God (on “good” days and “not-so-good” days).

Please order the workbook at nhc.click/chew and bring it to the first class.

We live in a time of deep uncertainty, and yet the Bible promises that we were created to enjoy lives of freedom, even in times when the world around us seems filled with darkness. You were not made to live in disappointment, disillusionment, and defeat, and God has given you the tools to live a life defined not by your trials, but by your victories.

In Overcomer, beloved Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah offers his insights on one of the most quoted but least understood passages of the Bible: the apostle Paul’s admonition to the Ephesians to take up the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). With his signature depth, wisdom, and compassion, Dr. Jeremiah explores the powerful relevance of spiritual armor as a critical tool each day as we confront the specific challenges in our lives and of our time.

Please purchase the study guide at nhc.click/overcomer before the first meeting.

Renewing your mind will lead to a transformed life.

Have you been feeling weighed down by worry? Or caught up in a web of self-critical thoughts? The good news is that with God’s help, you can learn to renew your mind, break free from negative patterns, and become a little more like Jesus every day. This six-session Bible study explores three scripture-based tools for managing your thoughts:

• Practice Picky Thinking: Monitor the airspace of your thoughts and don’t allow the destructive ones to land.
• Identify UFOs: Scan for any untruths that are creating false narratives that are leading to overreactions.
• Uproot and Replant: Don’t let the ugly weeds of Satan’s lies grow. Pull them up by the roots and replace them with God’s truth.

These three tools will help you take every thought captive and test the messages that replay in your mind against the truth of God’s Word. You will also learn to overcome common thought traps like anxiety, guilt, rejection, dissatisfaction, and more. No matter who you are or where you come from, progress is possible.

Please purchase the study guide at nhc.click/tame before the first class.

Starting Point is a conversational environment where people can explore faith and experience community. Starting Point groups are safe places for people with questions about faith, as well as those who want to learn about the Bible and Christianity. Groups meet for 9 weeks to explore the grand story of the Bible. You may have questions that you’ve always wondered about but never felt you could ask at church, legitimate questions that would make many Christians uncomfortable. Ask them. Nothing is off-limits. We want to have conversations about the stuff that really matters to you—even when it’s difficult to talk about—especially when it’s difficult to talk about.

Starting Point is designed for:
SEEKERS: those who are curious about God, Jesus, the Bible, or Christianity
STARTERS: those who have just begun a relationship with Jesus Christ
RETURNERS: those who have some church experience, but have been away for a while

A Starting Point book will be given to you at the first meeting.
