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
The
topic and text for Sunday, February 20th, the topic and text will be
A Ransom for Many (Matthew 22:20-28).
Sunday,
February 27th, the topic and text will be Seeing Jesus Clearly:
The Triumphal Entry (Matthew 21:1-11).
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!
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
