SUNDAY ADULT CLASS OPTIONS – WINTER
TERM 2022
January 2 through
February 27
1. The
Story of Redemption (Gymnasium; Coordinator: Loren Wisehart)
This series presents the biblical account of the
human problem, salvation, and a new life in Jesus Christ. Beginning with
creation, the class follows the “big picture” storyline of the Bible as it
finds meaning and completion in Jesus.
Each week, participants are invited to arrive early
for fellowship. Upon entering the gymnasium, participants will be assisted in
finding a small group. After a call to order and welcome, all groups will watch
a 5–10-minute video. Once the video is done, groups will read a Bible passage
related to the video, discuss questions, and pray for one another. Groups will
wrap up at 9:45 a.m. in order to move chairs into place for the large assembly
which begins at 10:15 am. Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83086751743?pwd=RjNTYVR3QXNUUDRXYUxtN25VRmM0QT09
Sunday, February 6th, the topic and text will be The Heart
of a Disciple (Matthew 6:19-24).
2. Women’s
Ministry (Library; Coordinators: Sue Underwood and Kim Story)
This class provides Bible-based content in a LIFE
Talk setting and is set up to minister to women who are the head of their
household and women whose husbands are not Christians. Women of all ages and
situations are welcome who wish to participate in this ministry. The class is
generally organized to alternate between Old Testament and New Testament books,
topics, and ideas. However, prayer and sharing are also integral parts of the
class. As participants begin to apply the teaching to their own lives, they are
invited to openly share burdens with one another. This is so that others who
have walked that path previously can share their own experience and wisdom in
how to face that situation faithfully. While two ladies provide the principal
oversight for the class, a number of ladies from within the class will be
encouraged to lead individual sessions, usually a week or two at a time.
WEDNESDAY
ADULT CLASS OPTIONS – WINTER 2022
January 5 through March 2
1. Generational
Discipleship (Room 200; Leader: Daniel Alavi)
The Church in the West is facing a steep decline,
yet the Body of Christ worldwide is thriving like never before. The center of
Christianity is slowly moving towards the Global South, into areas and people
groups where the church has virtually no major denominational leanings, no
governmental recognition or legitimacy, no bank accounts, no 501c3s, no Bible
Schools or seminaries, and no assets, properties, or buildings. In spite of
this, hundreds of churches are being planted, thousands of disciples are being
made, and millions are being baptized into the name of Jesus!
TONIGHT’S
GENERATIONAL DISICPLESHIP CLASS
The
Generational Discipleship class tonight will be postponed to next week. I’m
still recovering from COVID and have two days left before my quarantine is
over.
In
the meantime, I’d encourage everyone to either attend another class tonight, or
watch as much as this documentary on disciple making in the Middle East. It
unpacks many of the principles that we’ve covered so far :)
2. God’s
Promises Fulfilled in the Gospel According to Matthew (FLC; Leader: Loren
Wisehart)
In the Old Testament, God made some amazing promises
to people like Abraham, Israel, and David. These promises established how God
related with His people for centuries. In the New Testament, one of the things
that distinguishes Matthew’s biography of Jesus from other similar accounts is
how from cover to cover, he demonstrates how Jesus fulfills these promises. In
this short overview of the Gospel According to Matthew, we will examine how
Jesus fulfills these promises and explore how they remain relevant for our
lives today. This class can either be in-person or join in on Zoom. Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86363371603?pwd=cjM1bmFxZ0kyTU5SR1VQUlN2QlpOZz09
