How to Study the Bible
Teacher: Sam Klass
Location: Sanctuary Bookroom
Meeting Time: Sunday Morning 9:00 am
Date: Starting January 12, 2025 for 15 classes
Summary: “…..But that’s just your interpretation”. This is a common
statement in Christian culture. You’ve probably heard it, perhaps you
have said it! It can be used to undermine objective, knowable truth of
scriptures. So how can we be confident that what we believe is God’s
truth, and not just our misinformed interpretation? Join us in a class on
“How to Study the Bible” where we will be learning the fundamental
principles for interpreting the Scriptures according to God’s intended
meaning."
Biblical Studies Class:
1 Thessalonians
Teacher: Jeremy Twombley
Location: Adult classroom in the Education Building
Meeting Time: Sunday Mornings 9:00 am
Date: Starting January 12, 2025 for 15 classes
Summary: "It’s vital for every Christian to become more and more
familiar with their Bibles over the course of their Christian life. This is
why we provide regular classes like this where we work through whole
books of the Bible together. This class will be on the first letter Paul
wrote to the church in Thessalonica. You can read the story of how Paul
planted the church in this major Macedonian city in Acts 17. He wasn’t
able to stay long before he was run out of town by the Jews, and the
fledgling church left behind was thrown into a cauldron of persecution.
Paul’s concern to see this church endure in the midst of various severe
difficulties is reflected in what he wrote to them. As we study this letter
together, we will learn many things from the encouragements,
exhortations, and instructions Paul provides the Thessalonian
Christians in its pages. "

Doctrine and Life Class:
Church Life
Teacher: Sam Klass
Location: Adult classroom in the Education Building
Meeting Time: Sunday Morning 9:00 am
Date: Starting May 18, 2025 - September 25
Summary: It is often said, "Christianity is about a personal relationship with Christ". This is true. But it's nol. the whole truth. Christianity is also about corporate relationship to the body of Christ. One cannot be united to Christ (the head) without also being united to the Church (the body). Join us as we consider what it means to live out our Christian lives as a member of the body, and in relation to other members of the body, in the context of the local church. Over these 15 weeks, we will consider topics like: unity, corporate worship, fellowship, friendship, discipleship, hospitality, submission, corporate evangelism, and many others!
Biblical Studies Class:
Title: Overview of the New Testament-Part 1
Teacher: Jeremy Twombley
Location: Sanctuary Bookroom
Meeting Time: Sunday Mornings 9:00 am
Date: Starting May 18, 2025 - September 25, 2025
Summary: The Bible is a light to our path and food for our soul as Christians. So it is important that we know it well. Achieving this requires both in-depth studies of individual books as well as overview studies of larger sections. This class is an overview of the books in the NT. After discussing some introductory matters, we will go through one NT book each class period (with some exceptions). You will learn the historical background of each book, get a general sense of their teaching and reflect on their contribution to the Bible as a whole. This overview will take 2 trimesters to complete. In this first trimester we will cover Matthew through 2 Thessalonians. I hope many of you will consider attending this important class.
