A Stonebriar Community Church Fellowship Class
Marathon Fellowship is a multi-generational group focused on Bible study, prayer, fellowship, and serving others—both at Stonebriar Community Church. and through missions around the world. We meet weekly on Sundays at 10:45 a.m. in B219. Our current teacher is Dr. Stephen Kim, Professor of Bible Exposition at Dallas Theological Seminary. Previous teachers have included Dr. Stanley Toussaint, Wayne Stiles, and Rhome van Dyck among other guests.
Scripture: Leviticus 9
Wayne Stiles teaches from Leviticus 9 that God longs to be with us—both now and forever—and Jesus made it possible. We see how the entire Bible reveals God’s goal and how He made it happen.
Scripture: Leviticus 3:1–5; 7:11–21
Wayne Stiles teaches from Leviticus 3 and 7 that we can enjoy peace with God because of the shed blood of Jesus. After that, we should share with others how God has blessed us.
Scripture: Leviticus 2; 6:14-23
Wayne Stiles teaches from Leviticus 2 what to do with the rest of your life. The grain offering illustrates that the Lord expects believers to offer themselves and the best they have as an expression of dedication and gratitude. The good news? The Lord is pleased when we do this.
Scripture: Leviticus 1
Wayne Stiles teaches from Leviticus 1 how you can know God has accepted you. The burnt offering offers us a surprising bit of good news: God is pleased to accept anyone—at any time—who comes to Him through His prescribed Sacrifice.
Scripture: John 8:1-11
Imanuel Christian teaches about the woman caught in adultery and Jesus’ judgment of forgiveness.
In John 8:1–11, Jesus meets a woman caught in adultery and exposes the self-righteousness of her accusers while extending grace to the repentant. He alone is qualified to condemn, yet instead offers forgiveness and a transformed future: “Neither do I condemn you… go, and sin no more.”
David Souther teaches on how God uses dark seasons in our lives, and how we should respond to these seasons.
Vladimir Pikman teaches on the eschatological significance of Sukkot and the Jewish view on the afterlife as related to the Bible.
Wayne Stiles walks through some questions asked about the Bible and the Christian life, with answers from Scripture.
Scripture says a lot about how to live, but what does it say about how to die? As with everything, Jesus is our example. We will learn by examining Jesus’s seven sayings from the cross of Calvary of how we should prepare for our own death.
Scripture: Psalm 23:1-3
In this fourth lesson on Psalm 23, Imanuel Christian teaches on the Lord who “restores my soul,” revealing how our Shepherd continually renews our body, spirit, and soul. As we walk with Him, He leads us into ongoing growth, healing, and deeper relationship.
