Hi everyone! We thought it would be a good idea to try out an online Bible study during our time of physical distancing from each other. While it is not as ideal as being able to meet and study the word together, we believe this can be a great substitution while we are unable to be with each other in person. I (Eric) have participated in multiple discussion board studies through my online Bible college courses and have found the interactions to be encouraging, helpful, and meaningful. We look forward to when we can gather together to study God's word again, but are also excited to interact with each other online through this study.
Study led by Eric Rossman - erossman@emeraldbible.com and Richard Roberts - pastor-richard@emeraldbible.com
THE STUDY WE WILL BE USING: A six week video series on Psalm 23 by Matt Chandler. Videos are around 10 mins each and you will watch one a week on your own schedule. Information on how to get access to the videos is listed below in step 2. Watch the trailer for the series here:

PSALM 23 - WITH MATT CHANDLER
Many people are familiar with Psalm 23. But because we all know it, we often breeze through the psalm without slowing down long enough to rest in the assurance it offers. In this 6-part series on Psalm 23, pastor Matt Chandler introduces us to the great shepherd, the Lord, who promises to provide for every need of his flock. Though only six verses long, this psalm teaches us profound truths about our loving and protective God. By studying Psalm 23, we’ll encounter a life-transforming question: Do you trust the Lord to care for your needs?
