LIFE STUDIES

If we are committed to growing closer to God, one of the most important things we can do is spend time studying God’s Word with other Christians.  Life Study classes are a great way to do this!  Life Study classes meet on Sunday mornings during the worship hours.  Here's a list of our Fall classes which begin on Sunday, September 14th.

*ATTENTION*

ALL LIFE STUDY CLASSES WILL BE CANCELED ON DEC 21ST BECAUSE OF THE ANTICIPATED ATTENDANCE FOR CHRISTMAS WEEKEND.  THANKS!

Family Matters: Parenting Through the Parables

Jesus used simple, culturally relevant, yet profound
stories to teach His followers. As a class, we will study many of these parables by examining the historical context and Jesus’ message in each story. In weekly class discussions we will apply these truths to our marriages and parenting, hopefully finding practical steps to honor God in our homes. Each class participant will be asked to study one parable per week, and bring their thoughts and/or questions to the class session for that week.

Faith and Fellowship - (I and II Thessalonians):

When the Holy Spirit changed the Apostle Paul’s plan to go to Asia by diverting him into Macedonia , Thessalonica became one of the strategic centers for his ministry, and his two letters to the Thessalonian believers were likely the first of his New Testament epistles to be written. In them he deals with the ministry of the local church and the return of Jesus Christ, treating both as critically important from both practical as well as theological standpoints.

Living Stones/Bereans - Hebrews

Hebrews demonstrates the supremacy of Christ, as fulfillment of the Old
Testament, as complete witness of the Godhead, as the source of our faith, and the power, example, motivation, and goal for our faithful life.

Kairos—2 Corinthians

The Apostle Paul deals with a confrontation having to do with his authority, with false teaching, and with a challenge to his apostolic integrity. He asserts his right as an apostle to warn false teachers even as he prepares to visit Corinth to preach that his life-transforming message is true. The class begins with coffee and a prayer time for needs known to and shared by class members.
