The Mansfield Men’s Chapter of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) International will meet at First Methodist Church Mansfield on Tuesday evenings beginning this Fall. BSF offers worldwide, non-denominational, in-depth, small-group Bible studies led by trained group leaders, with the aim of producing passionate commitment to Christ, His Word, and His Church. All courses are offered free of charge but advocate a daily time commitment of personal study to prepare for the weekly group discussion.

When people risk joining together with others in a common desire to know and love God and neighbor more fully the Holy Spirit will be present in recognizable ways. Discipleship in early Methodism was centered on this conviction. Beyond curriculum-driven studies, Wesley organized his churches into small groups that met weekly to share how they were doing spiritually by answering the basic question: “How is it with your soul?” Join Pastor Thomas and Michelle Rebel to learn about Wesleyan Small Groups and practice what became the heartbeat of the Methodist movement.

Do you struggle with feeling like you aren’t enough?
The great news woven throughout the Gospel according to Luke is that perfection is not a prerequisite for a deep and personal relationship with Jesus.
The Gospel of Luke is no Cinderella story, but the story of a Savior working in and through the lives of those who feel left behind, forgotten, invisible, and rejected. It’s where outliers, outcasts, the least of these, and those others would call unlovely become the beloved bride of Christ.
Refresh Women’s Ministry is excited for this brand new fall study. Written by Lisa Harper, join us for an 8-week Bible study of a literary masterpiece that doesn’t celebrate the elite, but embraces the outliers, outcasts, and overlooked! You’re invited to run into the arms of Jesus and experience the fullness of his gut-level compassion unlike any other love you will ever know.
