Bible Study

This year, instead of the traditional Wednesday evening Advent services, Shepherd of the Ridge offers Dinner and a Movie. Folllowing a 6:00 PM meal, bring a cup of coffee upstairs with you to watch a Bible study on the history and accuracy of the Bible on the big screen. This special aired on PBS stations around the country, including the state of Ohio, but it was unavailable in the Cleveland area, so now we make it available to you. Originally a 1-hour special, we will break it up into a (roughly) 20-minute segment each week.

Genesis 46-50: Jacob’s Final Acts

As a pastor, I get all kinds of questions landing in my email inbox. Some intend to challenge our practice. Others have searching questions. I need to answer them.

What is the mission of the church? If I asked 30 of you, I'd probably get 20 answers. So what does God say is the mission of the church?

We invite the entire congregation to the next Vision Task Force meeting, which will be a Bible Study. The Bible Study is designed to help the participant understand God's Mission, how Jesus fulfilled that mission, and how we are participants in this ongoing mission. It will answer the question, "What is the mission of the Church?"
