The goal of Hope Coming Biblical Studies Program is two-fold. First, is to accurately interpret Scripture. Second, is to offer courses that will help folks who wish to seek a deeper and more meaningful understanding of Scripture. The result will hopefully be a closer walk with the Lord for all of us. A walk that will not be hindered by the places in life where we normally become stuck or complacent. Hebrews 4:12 reads, “For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart”. Hope Coming was established to help folks pay close attention to their hearts, that personal part in each of us that the Lord is after. In fact, everything done without heart is probably meaningless to the Lord and a waste of time for us.
Because Scripture was intended to be lived out in the context of life, we will also look at how each study applies to our relationships, both with the Lord and with others. With these things in mind, it is our hope that everyone will move toward loving Christ more deeply, loving others more completely and that the study of His word will change us more profoundly.

Changes that Heal (A DVD WORKSHOP)
Beginning September 13, Thursday's at 7:00p.m. Christians are suffering from a whole range of emotional problems: anxiety, loneliness, grief over broken relationships, resentment, and feelings of inadequacy. Often they have been struggling with those problems for years. They are people in PAIN. "Changes That Heal" teaches that there are biblical solutions for your struggles with depression, anxiety, panic, addictions, and guilt, and that these solutions lie in your understanding certain basic developmental tasks. These tasks involve growing up into the "likeness" of the one who created you. This is a 12 week class. Book and worksheets are $20.00. For more information contact Amelia at (805) 582-1054. Class will be held at Hope Coming Ministries 2250-A Union Place, Simi Valley, CA 93065

What Should I Do With The Desires Of My Heart
Beginning September 18, Tuesday's at 7:00p.m. Although all of us have many differences as individuals, we still have one question in common: What should I do with the desires of my heart? Therefore, with this question in mind, we will search the Scriptures, collect and arrange certain principles, and see God's answers. Life is a process, and these principles applied to that process will change our lives. This is not to say that we will be free from the normal struggles of the Christain life, but we will see our lives from God's perspective, and be ready for the fulfillment of the desires of our heats. Class will be held at Hope Coming Ministries 2250-A Union Place, Simi Valley CA 93065. For more information call the church office at (805) 577-9102
