Current Adult Sunday Educational Opportunities

Sunday mornings 9:45-10:45 am

Faithful to God
An adult inductive Bible study on 1 & 2 Peter, 1, 2 & 3 John and Jude
Crushed, overwhelmed and devastated - these are common feelings of those who suffer. Many first century Christians were suffering, being abused and persecuted because of their Christian faith. The writers of these smaller New Testament Epistles knew Christ, yet even in times of difficulty nothing could shake their confidence in Jesus. Following Christ is a costly commitment. Trials will come. When they do, we are to remain faithful to God.

This Bible study will be led by Pastor Mark Miller in the Fellowship Hall. A study guide will also be available for each participant

Exploring our Roots

From January 1 through February 19 we will check into Genesis and Exodus, the first two books of the Bible, exploring some of the major themes in each book.

Join Janine Yates in room 6

God's Freedom

We explore our liberty in Christ using The Five Laws of Liberty: Defending a Biblical View of Freedom by Scott Hyland. Adherencer to the Bible is maintained. Other pertinent materials will be included in our discussion as they become relevant.

Leader: Anita Howell, Room 8

Talk Back Fellowship
We meet every week in the downstairs fellowship hall to talk about events happening around us in the community and in the world. What is our Christian response?

Upcoming Courses for Adults
Sunday mornings 9:45-10:45 am

Starting February 26 and continuing through Lent

Biblical Models of Discipleship

What does it mean to be a disciple? Can the New Testament teach us to be better disciples?

Throughout this study, we will investigate key texts of the New Testament

We will discover many methods by which disciples functioned as followers or learners

How applicable are these methods for thoughtful Christians of our day?

SMALL GROUPS
