Providence Church Calendar

This fall we’ll be reading through C.S. Lewis’s classic The Screwtape Letters, a brilliant and often humorous look at the subtle strategies of temptation. Written as a series of fictional letters from a senior demon (Screwtape) to his nephew Wormwood, Lewis exposes the everyday schemes of the enemy and, in doing so, helps us see more clearly how Christ equips us to stand firm in faith.

Fall Schedule (every other Wednesday):

• Oct 8 – Letters 1–5

• Oct 22 – Letters 6–10

• Nov 5 – Letters 11–15

• Nov 19 – Letters 16–20

• Dec 3 – Letters 21–25

• Dec 17 – Letters 26–31

Whether you’ve read it before or are opening it for the first time, this book is always fresh. It’s witty, convicting, and surprisingly practical for the Christian life today.

Come join us as we sharpen one another and grow in Christ together.

Introduction to Biblical Covenants: A Reformed Presbyterian Perspective

Welcome to our 8-week study on Biblical covenants, a journey through the theological and historical framework of God’s redemptive relationship with humanity. This course will define the nature of a covenant—an oath-based relationship with obligations, blessings, and curses—and explore its centrality in Scripture as the structure for God’s sovereign dealings in history. Over the eight weeks, we will examine key covenants, including the Covenant of Redemption, the Covenant of Works, the Covenant of Grace, the Common Grace Covenant, and the historical covenants with Abraham, Moses, David, and the New Covenant fulfilled in Christ. These covenants reveal God’s unchanging faithfulness, sovereign grace, and the unfolding of His redemptive plan.

Our primary source reading will be Sacred Bond: Covenant Theology Explored by Michael G. Brown and Zach M. Keele, supplemented by relevant passages from Scripture and the Westminster Confession of Faith. Each week, beginning July 8, 2025, and concluding October 28, 2025, will include lectures, discussions, and engagement with assigned readings to deepen our understanding of covenant theology and its implications for faith and life. No prior theological training is required—just a heart eager to explore God’s Word and grow in awe of our covenant-keeping God. Join us as we trace the scarlet thread of God’s promises through history, culminating in the glory of the New Covenant in Christ.
