Small group Bible studies form the core of GCF. During one of the weekly meetings we typically have a Bible study, worship, and prayer. We start at 7:30pm and usually end by 9:30, but people often stay to talk over drinks and snacks. It's a great chance to unwind and catch up with friends. We have three Bible studies this year.

Monday Night - First Year Study

After God's Own Heart (Fall)

During the first few weeks we'll look briefly at the lives of several Old Testament characters, such as Joesph and Daniel, exploring how God guided them through new challenges and experiences. Then we'll focus particularly on the life and psalms of David, the great shepherd-king, seeking to understand why God called him "a man after My own heart." Although first year students may attend any study they wish, this study is particularly aimed at those who are new to Cornell, Ithaca, and our fellowship. Thus, we highly recommend this study if you are becoming involved in GCF for the first time.

Tuesday Night - New Testament Study

Looking at Luke: Integrating the Gospel into our Daily Living

So what did Jesus call us to be and do after all? Join us in the study of the Gospel according to Luke as we explore and apply God's truth in community. We will attempt to gain a deeper cultural and historical understanding of the text in order that we might more faithfully interpret it. Our hope is that through our study we will be able to apply our learning and work together to better live out this truth in our lives.

Wednesday Night - Topical Study

Basic Christian Apologetics

Do you want to become more effective at answering friends' questions about Christianity, better equipped to defend it from critics' claims, or strengthened in your own faith? Then join us for a study in apologetics. This fall, we'll be taking a Bible-based safari among the classic arguments for the Christian faith. After covering these essentials, we will examine the "hot" contemporary challenges to historic Christianity. Find out how the universe's beginning points to a Creator, why moral laws require a Lawgiver, and how history testifies to a Redeemer.
