Dr. Scott Shuler’s Bible Study

Ecclesiastes – Fall 2025

This 11 session Bible study by Dr. Scott Shuler on Book of Ecclesiastes explores the meaning of life, concluding that earthly pursuits, like wealth or pleasure, are ultimately “vanity,” fleeting and unsatisfying when pursued apart from God. The Preacher, traditionally identified as King Solomon, describes these pursuits as “chasing after the wind”. However, the book also encourages appreciating God’s gifts and enjoying simple pleasures in the present, while acknowledging that ultimately, fearing God and keeping His commandments is the “whole duty of man”.

Handel’s Messiah Bible Study – Fall 2024

The Old Testament tells us a King is coming. He arrives in the New Testament but is not what people expected! He achieves an everlasting kingdom through his suffering, death, and resurrection.
