Covenant lessons come from Chronicles, Nehemiah, Daniel, Haggai, and Luke.  The word covenant is no longer commonly used, but it is an important word in the Bible.  Come and find out why!  In the Bible Discovery Class, whether participating in discussions or simply listening, your faith will be strengthened through the study of God’s Word.

CONTINUES through JUNE 1 :

 
God, the People, and
the Covenant
 

Prayer is essential for a covenant relationship with God, and Daniel’s prayer for his people is a great example of how to pray.  After the exile, the prophet Haggai, the governor Nehemiah, and the priest Ezra are key figures who inspired renewed obedience to God’s covenant.  The people responded with worship and commitment to obey.  God’s Word is still essential for such revival!

 The intent of this class is to offer series that build a foundation in our knowledge of Christianity while developing our faith.   In this final series of the season, philosopher-theologian Keith Ward argues that without religion, the human race would be considerably worse off and have little hope for the future.   See why!

CONTINUES through JUNE 1 :

Is Religion Dangerous>

 

Holy wars, crusades, discrimination, intolerance—these by-products of religion are all that many can see.  But is religion dangerous?  Is it a force for evil or even “the root of all evil,” as has been claimed?  Does religion lead to terrorism and violence?  Are religious beliefs irrational and immoral?  What is the response to today’s critics of religion?

Remaining topics :

ARE RELIGIOUS BELIEFS IMMORAL? 
      Morality and the Bible
      Morality and Faith
      The Enlightenment, Liberal Thought and Religion

DOES RELIGION DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD?
      Does religion do more harm than good in personal life?
      What good has religion done?

The intent of this class is to gain a Christian approach to the relationships in our lives (husband/wife, parent/grandparent/child, friends/ co-workers/ neighbors/brothers and sisters in Christ).  This final series of the season featuring on DVD well-known speaker Joyce Meyer deals with a topic that can rob us of joy and peace in ANY of these relationships, as well as our relationship with God.

NEW!  MAY 4 through JUNE 1 :

Dealing With Offense
Let It Go, and You Will Find Peace
 

It happens every day!  In fact, since the time you were old enough to remember, you’ve probably encountered it several times a day.  But what you may not realize is that YOUR RESPONSE to it has a direct impact on your ability to live in peace and enjoy your life!  What is it?  It’s the CHOICE we make to be offended or not be offended. 

Two things we need to understand about being offended:

1)    We will always have opportunities to be offended – ALWAYS.
2)    God will always provide us a path that leads away from being offended and into
        His fulfillment and peace – ALWAYS.

Unfortunately, we often find angry and offended people in the body of Christ.  The end result of keeping offense in our hearts is costly, preventing God from doing anything valuable in us or through us.  Joyce Meyer gives us an opportunity to understand how to let go of offense and experience the victorious life of God. 

We want to “C-YA” in this class designed just for younger adults from recent High School grads through age 24.

CONTINUES through MAY 25 :

 
LIQUID:  Crossing
Life is a Journey
 

 LIQUID is a new teaching series that translates Bible accounts into the language of today’s culture.  Based on the Book of Joshua, the Crossing series explores the extraordinary things that can happen when we trust God and let Him lead the way vs. letting fear and insecurity paralyze us and keep us from crossing over.
