John 12:20-21 states: “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”

Below are the group studies we are currently offering.
Begins April 23rd
Tuesdays, AM
10am - 12pm YFMB
Topic: Secrets of Kingdom Living- Studies on the Beatitudes
An 8-lesson study that unpacks the practical meaning of the Beatitudes of Matthew 5:1-12. Here Jesus describes the qualities and blessings of His ideal follower and the profound secret of living with Him as King.
Leaders: Chris MacBurney and Heather Huber
Topic: Discussing the sermon series, “The Gospel of Luke: Meeting our Savior”
Leaders: Linda Clark and Linda Rigdon
Begins February 20th
Tuesdays, PM
7-8:30pm - YFMB 201 & Zoom
Topic: “Job – A Story of Unlikely Joy” by Lisa Harper.
Joy is the constant companion of the woman who trusts in the Lord. And while you can find it in friends, family, and circumstances, unfailing, persistent joy will only ever overflow from your relationship with Jesus. Just ask Job, the man from Uz who clung to God’s goodness while all his worldly joys were stripped away. But how is it possible to hold onto such joy in times of sorrow? In this 14 week study, discover the redemptive facet of Job’s suffering. Learn to view pain as a way to strengthen your faith, point others to the gospel, and trust in the Lord. Because His providence will never take you to a place where His grace will not sustain you.
Leaders: Irm Smith and Gail Loehr
Resumes January 23rd
Tuesdays, Online
8pm- 9pm - Zoom/Online
Partner with us during this season of motherhood on Zoom.
Risen Motherhood podcast group is an online community that gathers weekly to reflect on the gospel-hope for moms with young children. Each podcast is about 20 minutes long and brings gospel truths to everyday topics of motherhood.
“You might think that Scripture doesn’t have much to say about the food you make for breakfast, how you view your postpartum body, or what school choice you make for your children, but a deeper look reveals that the Bible provides the framework for finding answers to your specific questions about modern motherhood.” – Risen Motherhood
Leaders:Krisana Ukritnukun and Rachel Rickershauser Reach out to Krisana Ukritnukun via email for the Zoom link.
Begins January 11th:
Thursdays, PM
7pm - 9pm YFMB Great Room
Topic: 1st Corinthians by Life Change
The Corinthian church was proud and prosperous. For them, the Apostle Paul had a stern reminder: Genuine spiritual maturity is found not through status and recognition but through faith, hope, and love. His practical instructions concerning divisions, sexuality, spiritual gifts, and worship are still profoundly relevant for developing healthy, mature churches today—the kind that grow healthy, mature Christians.

The Morning Edition
Romans 1-7; The Gift of God by Timothy Keller
Tuesday Mornings, 9:30am, YFMB
We want to be right in the eyes of the law of our land, of those we respect, of our loved ones, of those we work with. We strive to gain and then keep this right standing.
But there is another, far better and more important righteousness. A righteousness which changes and liberates every aspect of our lives, and yet which none of us can earn or maintain ourselves. It s a righteousness from God.
Romans 1-7 is all about that righteousness. It shows us why we don’t have it, why we need it, and how we can receive it. It thrills us that the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6 v 23).
These seven studies will help you to understand one of the most-read, most written-about parts of the Bible. And, as they enable you to you unwrap God s precious gift of right standing with him, they ll transform your hearts, lives, identities and perspectives.

What is the deep cry of your heart? The ache in your soul that keeps you up at night? The prayer you keep repeating? Jesus not only cares about this deep, spiritual wrestling, but He also wants to step in and see you through it.
Join Lysa TerKeurst on the streets of Israel to explore the seven I AM statements of Jesus found in the Gospel of John. Through this interactive, in-depth study we will be trading feelings of emptiness and depletion for the fullness of knowing who Jesus is like never before.
The workbook is $15, payable by cash or check. Please invite your friends to come. Contact Irm Smith (908-397-3128) with any questions.

It has been said that two of the greatest proofs for the truth of Scripture and Christianity are the number of fulfilled prophecies we see in Scripture and the power of God to change lives. At our upcoming breakfast we will have the opportunity to hear from two of our brothers in the Lord and witness how God pursued them and restored them into a relationship with Jesus Christ. Our brother Amit Nihilani will be sharing the testimony of God’s grace and mercy in their lives.
Your presence will also be an encouragement to the men from Market Street Mission who will also be joining us for this breakfast.

What is Stand Courageous?
Where can men, husbands, and fathers find a model of manhood, leadership, and strength in a culture of gender confusion? We need men to be men, tough with compassionate strength, bent toward justice without compromise, locking arms and standing. We need to be the men God created us to be; warriors for all that is right, true, and just.
Stand Courageous is a ministry that seeks to help men develop a strong biblical character, cultivate positive habits, build and rebuild relationships, and make commitments that will move men closer to God’s good purpose and design – men who will Stand Courageous!
We invite you to join us at a Stand Courageous Men’s Conference to discuss critical aspects of masculinity. These conferences are led by men who struggle with the same issues you do, and will invest in unpacking our role as a defender, provider, instructor, and battle buddy so that we can have the generational influence as a “chaplain” inside and outside the home.
