Dr. Bruce Bickel

On Friday, December 21, 2018, Dr. Bruce Bickel decided to pass the teaching baton on to Dr. Jeff Stivason permanently. Bruce indicated that he is not able to get prepared and be at our Bible study given the time of day of our study. He loved teaching us and knows that we will be in good hands with Jeff. It was an honor to have Bruce with us on Friday, December 21st, as we celebrated his teaching us in this past year. Unfortunately his Parkinson’s is progressing even though he is able to slow it down with physical therapy. Bruce will still be teaching on Tuesday’s at noon in Downtown Pittsburgh at First Presbyterian Church on Sixth Ave. You can always visit him there and benefit from his teaching. Bruce is willing to fill in for Jeff as needed but Jeff will now be our main teacher. Grace and peace to Bruce. May God’s healing hands surround him and comfort him and his wife Becky.

On Friday, October 5, 2018, Dr. Bruce Bickel announced that he would need to have Dr. Jeff Stivason teach us for the remainder of 2018. Bruce’s doctors want him to start a new physical therapy regime to battle his Parkinson’s disease. As a result of dehydration and possibly complications with his Parkinson’s Bruce suffered a “minor” stroke on Sunday, October 7, 2018, and was hospitalized. His speech was fine on Monday, and the test results were all good so he was released on Tuesday, October 9th. Let’s continue to surround Bruce and his wife Becky in prayer asking God to restore his health.

Dr. Jeff Stivason continued on Friday, October 12th with our study of the Letter to the Hebrews. Click to check out this on-going study, “Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus, Our High Priest.” Click to use our Bible Study Resources page to enhance your study of God’s word.

On Friday, May 25, 2018, Dr. Bruce Bickel had returned to teach us by launching this series on Paul’s letter to the church at Philippi. We were very excited to have Bruce back with us and to study with him. Dr. Bickel started off this study with an intense look at “The Sovereign Work of the Holy Spirit.” All the materials are below for your review. Dr. Bickel is our main teacher in this series unless otherwise indicated. Invite your friends to join us every Friday at the Barn.

Grace and peace to us all through Christ our Lord and Savior.
