Young Adult Bible Study Group (Ages 20s -30s)
Mondays, 7:30 – 9 PM – Meeting in the Spiritual Reading Room
Facilitator: Pastor Jason 609-275-7111 or dtkbiblestudies@gmail.com
Study: From Vanity to Victory: Living as Christians in a Secular World
Preparation Time: None
This study will explore how Scripture teaches us to navigate a world that often denies God. Ecclesiastes exposes the emptiness of life without Him, while Ephesians reveals the hope, identity, and mission we have in Christ. Together, they equip young adults to live joyfully, faithfully, and courageously in an increasingly atheistic world.

Mondays, 1:30 – 3:00 PM – Meeting in the Spiritual Reading Room

Study: Study: Questions Jesus Asks – a Threshold Bible study by Stephen J. Binz
Preparation: Weekly readings and questions for reflection. Workbook required.
The latest in the award-winning Threshold Bible Study series examines the questions Jesus asks his listeners. Jesus’ questions do not demand quick and easy answers; rather, they evoke new understandings, help listeners see different perspectives, and ultimately, change lives. This study invites us to new ways of encountering Jesus in the gospels, to better understand who he was for his original disciples and who he is for us today.

Testimonies of Group Members
Bible Study is fulfilling, informative and thought provoking. I had no idea what to expect when I registered, but I knew, right from the first day, that this was what the Holy Spirit led me to. The groups are welcoming and Scripture focused. The meetings are informal and friendly, allowing you to share your thoughts on Scripture if you desire to. There is no pressure. I learn something during each session, and I’m drawn to read more of the Bible during the week. We are called to know, love and serve our Lord. Bible Study helps us to know Him further and deepen our relationship with Him. Peter Eckel
We were newcomers to St. David the King when we signed up for our first Bible study. We hoped that our participation would give us a chance to get to know some of our fellow parishioners better while deepening our understanding and appreciation of the Bible. Since the first Bible study greatly exceeded our expectations on both counts, we signed up for several more. Each has been richly rewarding in its own way, raising challenging questions and providing unexpected new insights into our Catholic faith. We are very much looking forward to attending Bible study again this year.
Susan and Paul Jellinek
Attending Bible study groups is soul nourishing and strengthening for each of the seasons of our lives. As I started to study and understand the Word of God, I felt an insatiable hunger for more of Him in my life because of the peace that comes with the knowledge of God’s Word. I encourage you to dedicate some of your time to reading and studying His Word with other believers and can assure you that you will be blessed by it in more ways than you ever imagined!
