Welcome to Hillside Men's Bible Study of 1 Timothy! Listen to this episode for an introduction and overview of 1 Timothy.

"Who is this Jesus? That's the question everyone is asking in the first half of the Gospel of John. Through seven signs and seven “I am” statements, Jesus answers this question, revealing His identity as the Son of God. John's very purpose for writing his Gospel is to declare that Jesus is the Messiah, sent by the Father to do the Father's works, and we receive eternal life when we believe in Him. Once we learn this truth, we're left with only two responses: to fall at His feet or pick up a stone."JOIN Belinda Dunn and Crystal Kucera as they uncover and discuss the riches that are to be found in the Gospel of John.You can engage with the Scriptures by joining the corresponding Hillside 2023 Reading Plan by downloading your digital bookmark here!

"In Part 2 of Luke's Gospel, we see a picture of Jesus as an incredibly generous Savior. Jesus is relentless in His mission. He knows where He is going, what He is going to accomplish, and what it will cost Him. And yet - He is also generous with Himself, His time, and His compassion. He doesn't miss people along His way, instead He sees people, and He relentlessly pursues and loves them."Check out our newest podcast episode, featuring Mike and Kelly Gundersen, as they unpack the generosity of God in these final chapters of Luke.Engage with the second half of Luke's Gospel by joining the corresponding Hillside 2023 Reading Plan by downloading your digital bookmark here!

"In this first half of his Gospel account, the physician Luke tenderly reminds us of the overwhelming grace of Jesus Christ. Referencing the prophet Isaiah, we are told that Jesus has come to set the captives free. Jesus knows the hearts of men, and yet He faithfully loves and pursues people who are hurting and broken. This grace invites us to freedom knowing that we are fully loved for who we are and not for what we do."Check out our latest podcast episode, featuring Allyn Anderson and Ben Stagg, as they unpack the story of redemption found in the pages of Luke. Engage with the first half of Mark by joining the corresponding Hillside 2023 Reading Plan by downloading your digital bookmark here!

This month our podcast episode features two of our Men's Equip Leaders, Tom Tobin and JB Clarkson. Journey with them as they explore the second half of the Gospel of Matthew, and how it furthers our understanding of God's story of redemption."The book of Matthew begins and ends with the present reality of Immanuel, God with Us. It is bookended first with the infant Jesus arriving on the scene, and then closes with the resurrected Jesus declaring that He would be with us always till the end of the age. As we look at the life of Jesus between these two bookends, we get to see multiple portraits of our King, that really help us to flesh out the question, "Who is this Jesus?" JOIN US as we behold our King, and experience the wonder of God's plan through Jesus."Engage with the second half of Matthew by joining the corresponding Hillside 2023 Reading Plan by downloading your digital bookmark here!

Join members of the Women's Equip Teaching Team: Christine Schamberger, Amber Davis and Sindy Beckerle, as they kick off 2023 with the first 13 chapters of the Gospel of Matthew, and how it helps us grow in our understanding of the sovereignty and relevance of God's plan of redemption through the life of Jesus and the early church."Matthew takes great care to establish that Jesus is the Promised Messiah, fully human and fully divine, and has ALL authority. Emmanuel, God with us, entered the world as a dependent and needy baby, and secured our redemption for all eternity. The fulfillment and fullness of all the Old Testament prophecies and the Law, are revealed in the person, work and life of Jesus.  As we discover the different characters that encounter and experience Jesus, we get to see them grapple with the question of "Who is this Jesus?" - which is really the same question for all of us today.

Join Belinda Dunn and her son, Stephen Dunn, as they journey through our final book,  Nehemiah, and how it moves forward the Story of Redemption. "In Nehemiah, we come to the end of the storyline of the Old Testament. We see God brings back a remnant of His people to rebuild the city, temple and walls of Jerusalem. Despite severe opposition, Nehemiah and the people set up the boundary lines of the city to roll away the reproach of exile and to begin to establish a national identity. Although the people have been destroyed physically and their spiritual life is in shambles at the end of exile, we see God's faithfulness in remembering his promises to his covenant people. Ultimately, we see this book points us to Jesus, our Great Restorer.Engage with the book of Nehemiah by joining the corresponding Hillside 2022 Reading Plan by downloading your digital bookmark here!

Join Luke and Christine Schamberger as they journey through the book of Ezra and how it is relevant to the Story of Redemption."The book of Ezra, as well as Nehemiah, begins the conclusion of the story of the Old Testament. Led by Zerubbabel and Ezra, the people of Israel return from exile. Its meaning in the story of the Old Testament is best understood in relationship to the Prophets."Engage with the book of Ezra by joining the corresponding Hillside 2022 Reading Plan by downloading your digital bookmark here!

Join Lee and Jenn Darnold as they move forward in God's Story of Redemption by digging into the book of 2 Kings."The book of 2 Kings picks up where 1 Kings left off and continues to chronicle the decline of the divided kingdom. The book shows the contrast between Israel's faithlessness and God's faithfulness. In spite of continuous pride, idolatry, and rebellion, God continued to move His plan for His people forward."Engage with the book of 2 Kings by joining the corresponding Hillside 2022 Reading Plan by downloading your digital bookmark here!

Join Christine Schamberger and John Denmon as they dig into the book of 1 Kings and explore how it advances God's Story of Redemption."In the Hebrew Bible the books of 1 & 2 Samuel and 1 & 2 Kings are considered one story with four parts. As one continuous story, we see in 1 Kings what happens when a king walks in obedience to the Mosaic Covenant, like David did, that there will be blessings galore for the king and the nation they serve. If the king walks in the way of Saul, the way of disobedience, there will be severe consequences for the king and the nation. The heart of the nation is at stake, as the king goes, so goes the nation - either to God's blessing or to the consequences of sin."Engage with the book of 1 Kings by joining the corresponding Hillside 2022 Reading Plan by downloading your digital bookmark here!

Join Michael Edwards and Tom Tobin as they explore how the book of 2 Samuel advances God's Story of Redemption.In 2 Samuel, "the Lord enters into a covenant relationship with King David, making him the most prominent king of all time, the predecessor of the Messiah." (David Talley, The Story of the Old Testament) We see the excellency of God's character of faithfulness throughout this season in David's life - despite David's disobedience and sin, God remains faithful to His promise.Engage with the book of 2 Samuel by joining the corresponding Hillside 2022 Reading Plan by downloading your digital bookmark here!

Join Amber Davis and Belinda Dunn as they explore how the book of 1 Samuel advances God's Story of Redemption."The book of 1 Samuel tells the story of the transition of the nation of Israel from the days of the Judges to the period of the Kings. The storyline follows three men - Samuel (judge and prophet), Saul (the first king) and David (the second king). In this book we see the difficulties each man faced in his role, and the consequences of their obedience or disobedience to God. Ultimately we see God making a way for his story of redemption to move forward through the anointing of David. In David's suffering as he waits to become king, we see a picture of Jesus' suffering as our True Servant King."Engage with the book of 1 Samuel by joining the corresponding Hillside 2022 Reading Plan by downloading your digital bookmark here!

Join Marques Pauley and Shawn Catalano as they explore how the book of Judges advances God's Story of Redemption.David Talley, in his book, The Story of the Old Testament says "The story of Judges emphasizes that sin is a problem which must be overcome. The people's hearts are easily and continuously turned away. There is much pain and suffering to endure. There must be more, and that "more" will be found in Jesus and Jesus alone."Engage with the book of Judges by joining the corresponding Hillside 2022 Reading Plan by downloading your digital bookmark here!

Join Belinda Dunn and Dana Schamberger as they explore God's Story of Redemption by digging into the book of Joshua."In the book of Joshua we see God's story of redemption moving forward. The promises God made to Abraham and Moses are now being fulfilled for the Israelites as they enter God's Promised Land. The blessings of land, rest and victory are the Israelites possession as long as they obey God. The Lord is the One who fights Israel's battles, and we see the same is true for us in Christ, today."Engage with the book of Joshua by joining the corresponding Hillside 2022 Reading Plan by downloading your digital bookmark here!

Join Carlton Triplett and Amber Davis as they take a journey through the book of Numbers and discuss how it fits into the Story of Redemption."The book of Numbers is not merely a book about census taking, but is richer and deeper than one can imagine. The Hebrew definition for Numbers is "In the Wilderness." There's a familiar quote that says "All Who Wander Are Not Lost" that is so applicable to this book. The Israelites were wandering in the wilderness, but they were not lost. They were right where God intended them to be and they were still on the path to their destination. That path was long and hard, marked by trauma and difficulty, but they were not lost."Engage with the book of Numbers by joining the corresponding Hillside 2022 Reading Plan by downloading your digital bookmark here!

Join Christine Schamberger and Allison Weeks as they explore God's Story of Redemption by digging into the book of Exodus.“Exodus is about God's faithfulness despite His people's unfaithfulness and the fact that His primary concern is that He be known as Lord and that His creation be primarily concerned with knowing Him. God wants Egypt to know Him, He wants Israel to know Him, and He wants the whole world to know Him.”Engage with the book of Exodus by joining the corresponding Hillside 2022 Reading Plan by downloading your digital bookmark here!

Join Belinda Dunn and Christine Schamberger as they explore God's Story of Redemption through the book of Genesis. "In Genesis we see the beginning of God's plan to redeem and restore humanity back to Himself. Genesis is not just a book of history and genealogies, but an essential book for the Christian life. In Genesis we learn who we were created to be (Genesis 1 + 2), the tension we now live in (Genesis 3), and the plan God set in motion to redeem a people for himself (Genesis 12)."Engage with the book of Genesis by joining the corresponding Hillside 2022 Reading Plan by downloading your digital bookmark here!
