Adult Bible Classes

These are small groups on Sunday mornings designed for interaction, discussion and getting to know people in the church. Each quarter a new selection of topics is offered ranging from topical studies to book studies of the Bible. Class times are from 9:45am through 10:45am.

Winter Quarter 2009/2010
November 29 - February 21

 

"Creation and the Flood"

 The topic is the compelling scientific evidence for creation and the flood, with materials taken from Dr. Walt Brown’s book “In the Beginning.” Doctor Brown received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from MIT and is a retired Air Force full colonel, West Point graduate, and former Army Ranger and paratrooper. He was director of Benét Laboratories, professor at the U.S. Air Force Academy, and Chief of Science and Technology Studies at the AirWarCollege. You will learn the details that demonstrate that: 1) Most of the earth’s previously unexplained features can be explained by a cataclysmic flood, 2) The seemingly impossible idea of a worldwide flood is completely credible, 3) Life is so complex that chance processes, even over billions of years, cannot possibly explain life’s origin, and 4) Theories for the evolution of the solar system and universe are unscientific and hopelessly inadequate, Wow! This faith-bolstering class is for any age, but especially for those confronting die-hard propagandists in schools and universities and for those who would like to use the information learned as a powerful pre-evangelism tool. If you have ever had any of the difficult questions of origins posed to you and wished (prayed) that you were better prepared to respond, this class is for you!

Note: this class began in the fall will conclude in December.

  "The Homebuilders Class"

The Homebuilders class is really a community of people learning, growing, sharing, praying, servicing, and laughing together in the Lord.  We enjoy the small group atmosphere each Sunday morning as we share a snack, a story, prayer requests, and a lesson.  Throughout the quarter we like to get together outside of church for service projects and social gatherings.

 It is our hope that the lessons on Sunday mornings will help you “build” your home with and for Christ.  The topics may vary from marriage, to parenting, to discipleship, or Christian growth.

This quarter we will be studying the book of Acts. From tiny beginnings among Jesus’ disciples, the Church exploded into a worldwide force in just a few years. Jesus left His followers with a mission, and the Spirit of God moved mightily through them to fulfill it. Luke’s account of how the gospel was carried from Jerusalem to Rome, Despite every conceivable obstacle, challenges us to know and live out our mission in the world.

"The Gospel According to Matthew"

Matthew, one of the twelve apostles, wrote his gospel to the Jews, and ultimately to the world, as a testimony to the Lord Jesus Christ as the One who is more than adequate to meet all the spiritual and physical needs of fallen  mankind. Matthew, as a hated tax collector, offers himself as proof that Jesus, as the Son of God, has the power

to save and to change ones life for all eternity.

 

Through the usage of Old Testament quotations and the fulfillment of Messianic prophecies, the book forms a perfect bridge between the Old Testament and all that follows in the New Testament. With over sixty percent of the book being devoted to the personal teachings of the Lord Jesus, there is always more for us to learn, no matter how familiar we may be with its contents.

 

Won’t you please consider joining us as we take a fresh look at the truths of this beloved book?

 

NOTE: This study will begin immediately following the conclusion of the class on “Creation and the Flood (approximately  in December).
