Christian Education Classes
This Sunday we begin three new Christian Education classes. If you haven’t been involved in one of our CE classes, now is the time to jump in. Get to know your church family better. Grow in the grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ!
“The Forgotten Trinity”: The Grace Awakening Class will be following a book by James R. White on the doctrine of the Trinity. But it’s not just a doctrine; this is the truth that helps us understand the very essence of who our God is and how he relates to us. Why does it matter that our God is one God who exists eternally as three persons? How does this help us better understand worship, relationship, Christian living, and the very reality of love itself?
“What’s The Difference?”: One thing the class above will consider is how God exists as one God but three persons, the same in substance, equal in power in glory… yet for all the sameness & equality there are different roles that the members of the Trinity fulfill. Is that reflected in humanity as well, the race of extraordinary beings who have been created in God’s image? Yes. The LAFF (Lost And Found Fellowship) class will be following a book by John Piper exploring “Manhood and Womanhood Defined According to the Bible.” Both genders are the beautiful handiwork of a good and loving God, but there are profound (and designed) differences in the two genders. When properly understood and lived out — so far from being oppressive, prideful, or self-promoting — these differences are truly “fulfilling” in the deepest sense of the word. We are living as God made us to live.
Facebook Class (college & career): This class will be following a book by Thomas Watson on the doctrine of repentance. To repent is to come to your senses. To repent is Christian sanity in a world of unbelieving insanity. True repentance is a gift from God that leads to salvation without regret. Are you somewhat acquainted with the mercy of God in Christ? Or do you revel in it? The difference is repentance.
1st Samuel Study
We’re going to start tonight with another look at the big-picture of the Bible and how the covenant-making work of God provides the backbone of that story. Come join us as we grasp more of the whole story & where 1st Samuel fits into that story… & how it all points to the work of Christ, our Redeemer.

Thought of the Week:
“God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than of any other slackers. If you are thinking of becoming a Christian, I warn you: you are embarking on something which is going to take the whole of you, brains and all.”
~ C.S. Lewis
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
~Romans 12.2
