Bible Study
Making Peace with the Past
Forgiveness is a door. It’s the way to peace and joy. But it’s a small door, and it can’t be entered without stooping — or kneeling. And sometimes it is very hard to find.
When we hurt the people we love, how do we go about restoring the relationship?
When we suffer the pain of betrayal or injury or rejection from someone else, how do we deal with the anger and resentment we feel?
This Bible Study will help you discover, understand and practice what the Bible says about “How God Forgives Us” (Lessons 1-4) and “How We Forgive Others” (Lessons 5-8).
This bible study will run from 9/23/2026 - 11/11/2026. Please note the following schedule exceptions:
11/18 - No bible study (Revival)
11/25 - No bible study

God is a loving and forgiving Father who eagerly welcomes us back with open arms when we repent and return to Him.

Why We Need Forgiveness
We need forgiveness because sin separates us from God, but through His grace and mercy, He makes us alive in Christ and offers us salvation as a gift.

The Shout of a

Out of Debt!
Because God has forgiven our enormous debt of sin, we are called to extend that same grace and forgiveness to others.

When We Are Wounded
When we are wounded by others, God calls us to seek reconciliation through loving confrontation, forgiveness, and a commitment to restoring relationships.
LESSON 07
MATTHEW 6:5-15
As We Forgive Others
As we receive God's forgiveness, we are called to extend that same forgiveness to others, reflecting His grace and love in our relationships.
LESSON 08
PHILEMON
Forgiving When We Don't Feel Like It
True forgiveness means choosing to extend grace and release resentment, even when our feelings make it difficult, following the example of Christ.
When we hurt the people we love, how do we go about restoring the relationship?
When we suffer the pain of betrayal or injury or rejection from someone else, how do we deal with the anger and resentment we feel?

Why Christian Education
At SBC Wheaton, Christian Education isn't a single class, it's the ministry responsible for the church's entire teaching life. Our Christian Education Department oversees Sunday School, Bible Study, New Members Orientation, and the ongoing training that helps our teachers and members alike grow in their walk with Christ.
We believe studying Scripture together, not just hearing it preached, is how faith takes root and lasts. Whether you're new to the Bible or have studied it for decades, there's a place for you here.
What We Offer
Sunday School
Bible study for every age group, held each Sunday before worship. Classes are organized by age so children, youth, and adults each study at a level that fits them.
Bible Study
A weekly, in-depth study for the whole congregation, digging into Scripture verse by verse rather than just a topical overview.
New Members Orientation
For anyone who has recently joined SBC Wheaton, a class covering what we believe, how the church is organized, and how to get plugged in.
Vacation Bible School
Our annual VBS brings Christian Education to children in a week of games, music, and Scripture built just for them.
Workshops & Trainings
Periodic trainings for teachers, group leaders, and anyone who wants to grow in how they study and share God's Word.
