Doctrine and Life Class:
Intro to Apologetics
Leader: Sam Klass
Meeting Place: Sanctuary bookroom
Meeting Time: Sunday Mornings 9:00 am
Date: January 7, 2024 - May 15, 2024
Summary: Everyone Christian wants to be able to "defend the faith", but few of us feel equipped to do it! This course will provide the average Christian with a few practical tools in their apologetic tool bag to both buttress their own faith, and embolden them to engage the world around them. The first half of this course will teach and equip the learner with classic arguments for the why Christianity is not only a rationally tenable worldview, but the most rational worldview in light of the world we live in. The second half of the course will focus on responding to common objections to the Christian faith.
Biblical Studies Class:
Romans 8 - 16
Meeting Time: Sunday Mornings 9:00 am
Date: January 7, 2024 - May 15, 2024
Summary: Perhaps no book of the Bible has had a greater impact upon the history of the church (and even the world!) than Paul's epistle to the Romans. This magisterial letter is Paul's magnum opus and lays out his understanding of the gospel and its implications in wide ranging detail. It was this letter which the Lord used to convert Martin Luther and thereby spark the Protestant Reformation. Every Christian should have a grasp of Romans, and in this class we will be completing our study of it. Assurance of salvation, predestination, the future of Israel, spiritual gifts, liberty of conscience, missions and many other subjects are addressed in these last 9 chapters of the book. I hope many of your consider attending this class to study Romans together.
New Adult Discipleship Classes
Trimester 2 of 2024
Date: May 19-September 15
Doctrine and Life Class:
Title: Prayer and Meditation
Teacher: Jeremy Twombley
Location: Sanctuary Bookroom
Meeting Time: Sunday Mornings 9:00 am
Summary: Prayer is a vital issue for the Christian life, but one that we are often so poor at. In this class we will try and address that by developing a biblical perspective about prayer and thinking through practical ways to develop a lifestyle of prayer. Toward the end of the class we will also consider the related and often neglected practice of
meditation. We will think through what biblical meditation is, over against non-Christian ideas about it. And we will talk about ways to practice it more faithfully. I hope some of you will consider attending.
Biblical Studies Class:
Title: 2 Corinthians
Teacher: Sam Klass
Location: Adult classroom in the Education Building
Meeting Time: Sunday Mornings 9:00 am
Summary: The book of 2 Corinthians has been called Paul's "pastoral letter par excellence". Join us as we not only see Paul's heart for the troubled Corinthian Church, but also the rich themes of God's comfort in our affliction, the nature of gospel ministry, the glory of the new covenant, the hope of eternal glory, the doctrine of justification, the pursuit of holiness, stewarding money in light of the gospel, signs of true authority/power/success in the kingdom of God, as well as many other truths both rich and practical.
