REVELATIONS: EXTRAVAGANT HOPE

IN ROOM W50 ~ Starting on September 8th

The final book of the Bible can be more than a little daunting with its bloody dragons, flying creatures, and mark of the beast. But if you look more closely, you'll discover this is an extravagant message of hope.

Revelation is a survival guide for the suffering, a book of promises for the persecuted, and a banner of hope for the beaten down.

Through video teaching, group discussions, and personal study, you’ll discover:

No matter how dark or difficult our world becomes, Christ wins in the end! And YOU are part of His winning strategy.

Friends, it’s time for a fresh revelation, a fresh unveiling of Jesus in all our lives.

OLD TESTAMENT HISTORY: THE BOOK OF NUMBERS

IN ROOM W30~ Starting on September 8th

No matter how many times we read through and study the Old Testament, there is always more insight and a better understanding as our faith journey continues. The goal of this class is to read every word in the Old Testament, and then as a World History Class, discuss the events of their known world that shaped and influenced their lives at this particular time. This class is open to everyone regardless of age or personal knowledge of the Old Testament.

CAPTIVATING: UNVEILING THE MYSTERY OF A WOMEN'S SOUL

IN ROOM W40~ Starting on September 8th

Do you feel like you have to settle for a life of duty?

Many women feel pressure to strive to be the women they "ought" to be, often living with the sense that they've failed. Sadly, too many messages for Christian women do nothing but add to the pressure: "Do these ten things, and you will be a godly woman." The effect has not been good on the feminine soul. But her heart is still there.

Staci Eldredge wrote Captivating to share that your heart matters more than anything else in all creation. Throughout this study guide, you will:

Learn how to guard the most important thing about you...your heart.

Find courage to walk away from the ways we live out of fear.

Let God tenderly open our wounds to set us free.

Fight the right enemy, which is not men. And it's not women.

Possess a beauty that is worth pursuing.

Our wounds reveal what we are meant to bring to the world.

The desires you had as a little girl and the longings you still feel are telling you of the life God created you to live. Really. He offers to come now, as the Hero of your story--to rescue your heart and release you to live as a fully alive and feminine woman. A woman who is truly captivating.

THE CHRISTIAN ATHEIST

IN ROOM W30 ~ Starting on September 11th

Are you putting your whole faith in God but still living as if everything is up to you?

You may believe in God, attend church, and generally treat people with kindness…but are you living as if God doesn't exist? Have you surrendered to God completely, living every day depending upon the Holy Spirit?

This honest, hard-hitting, and eye-opening look into the ways people believe in God but live as if he doesn't exist is a classic of discipleship training. Groeschel's personal journey will help you break down your own barriers between simple belief and a more intentional faith.

ELIJAH: FAITH AND FIRE

IN ROOM W20 ~ Starting on September 11th

Old Testament heroes are best known for their most celebrated moments: Moses dividing the Red Sea; David slaying Goliath; Gideon routing an insurmountable army; Joshua marching around the defiant walls of Jericho. And Elijah—calling down fire on Mount Carmel.

Blinded by the remarkable narratives of our biblical heroes, we can forget they each had a backstory—months and years of development, even difficulty, which fortified their spiritual muscle and prepared them for the tasks that made their lives unforgettable.

Every serious believer longs to summon up the kind of boldness and faith that can stand firm on Mount Carmel and pray down heaven into impossible situations. Yet few are willing to go through the process required to get them there. Strength of faith, character, and boldness can only be shaped in the hidden fires of silence, sameness, solitude, and adversity. Those who patiently wait on God in the darkness emerge with their holy loyalty cemented, their courage emblazoned, and their confident belief in Him set afire.

JOHN WESLEY ON CHRISTIAN BELIEFS

IN ROOM W50 In-Person and Zoom ~ Starting on September 11th

John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, used the sermon as his primary means of theological communication. He organized and published 44 of his sermons to best articulate what it means to practice what he considered the proper way to serve and worship our God. This study follows Wesley's design to help us better understand what it means to be a Methodist.

This class is available to attend in-person or via Zoom. When registering please indicate your preference of attendance. The Zoom link will be emailed to the group the week prior to the first class.
