Romans for Real: The Last Five Chapters
Scott Kerens Room 219
Paul wrote this thick letter to the Christians in Rome to encourage and equip them to live unashamedly for Christ in the capital of the greatest empire on earth. The Romans were so advanced that their roads can still be traveled today! Also glorified in Roman culture were religious exploration, sexual experimentation, violence, political corruption, gambling, and power. This summer Sunday School class will unpack the real-life application of solidly biblical principles from Romans for young adults today. Hopefully we will leave a more meaningful legacy than solidly built roads.
Open to Adults of All Ages
Journeying though Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress
Randy Kirkland Lecture Hall
Come join us for a wonderful pilgrimage together as we study John Bunyan's classic allegory of Christian's spiritual journey from conviction of sin and conversion to final glorification in the Celestial City. Here's Spurgeon's review..."Next to the Bible, the book I value most is Pilgrim's Progress. I believe I have read it through at least a hundred times...Prick him (Bunyan) anywhere, and you find his blood is 'bibline'...the very essence of the Bible flows from him."
Way of the Master
Andrew Henske & Dorothy Callier Room 211
Based on the award-winning TV series "The Way of the Master" by Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort, the Basic Training Course is specially formatted to train believers in a group setting to simply and confidently share the gospel with family, friends, and strangers. This Evangelism Institute 101 course will teach you to overcome your fears by using a proven, powerfully effective way to make the gospel make sense. You won't be at a loss for words. You don't need to be an expert in apologetics. Instead, you'll learn the forgotten biblical principle of bypassing the intellect (the place of argument) and speaking directly to the conscience (the place of the knowledge of right and wrong)--the way Jesus did. Like countless others, you will be amazed at how using this biblical method will transform your life--and the lives of others.
How People Change (Women only)
Sherry Blough Fellowship Hall A-C
This class is a Christ-centered course for women who desire deeper relationships and who wish to mentor or be mentored. This study will take class members deeper into their own spiritual journey and their understanding of the Word. It is strongly recommended for present and future group leaders for the Women’s Bible Study. This is an extended time class so attendees will need to attend the 8:30 worship service.
Men's Mentoring Worksho
Tom Jones & Lincoln Vermeer Fellowship Hall D-F
The greatest legacy a man can leave behind is a positive impact on the lives of other men. As a man faces life's challenges nothing is more helpful than the compassionate encouragement and guidance of a brother in Christ. Yet many men live their entire lives having never had a true mentoring brother, and many have never considered how they might fill that role for someone else. Men, come join us for this workshop study of godly relationships and mentoring principles.
