Adult Sunday School

 

 

 

Adult Sunday School is offered on Sundays at 9:45 a.m. Below is a full list of Sunday School classes offered this quarter, starting June 2:

 

 

CRAZY LOVE

Room A4 | Teachers: Justin & Lynette Roberts

Are you hungry for an authentic faith that adresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer of religous complaceny isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts - it's falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis Chan describes it, you will never be the same. Because when you;re wildly in love with some one, it changes eerything.

 

THE MINOR PROPHETS: HABAKKUK

Room C10 | Teachers: Mike Conard, Kathy Kennelly, and Steve Apsey

 

Habakkuk: His name means "to embrace" or "to wrestle," and in his book, he does both. He wrestles with God concerning the problem of how a holy God could use a wicked nation like Babylon to chasten the people of Judah and then embrases God and clings to His promises.

 

THE GOSPELS AND THEIR BACKGROUND

Room A6 | Teacher: Sue Hulett

This class will study the religious, political, cultural, and literary background of the Gospels.  In addition to reading the Gospels devotionally, we focus on finding the meaning of Scripture by listening to the Holy Spirit's leading and prompting.  We first study the history of religion, culture, politics, and written and oral language at the time of Jesus.  We will thus know more about the theological debates between Jesus and the Pharisees, the cultural influences stemming from Jewish and Greek philosophy and societal norms, and about the language and writing style of the Gospel writers -- and also Paul.  Just for examples: we might discover more about Jesus' unique use of parables and poetic forms, the theological distinctions between John's and Matthew's Gospels, and the role of Pharisees, Sadducees, women, and Gentiles at the time of Jesus.  Bring your Bibles, your favorite Commentaries, and your reflections.

 

JOSHUA

Learning Center | Teacher: Rick Welty

Transitions in life are inevitable (mid-life crisis, empty nest syndrome, etc.). Imagine how difficult the transition might have appeared from Moses’ lead to Joshua.  God calls we followers of Christ to be just that, spirit-lead leaders.

 

CHRISTIAN

Room C4 | Teacher: Terry Hudson, Dave Christensen

This DVD study from Andy Stanley will explore the truth and fiction behind on of the most famous brands in all of history, Christian.  Ask 100 people to define it and you’ll probably receive 100 different answers.

In Christian, we will learn:

  • What one word should be descriptive of every Christian
  • How Jesus followers should treat those who are outside of the faith
  • Why people love Jesus but can’t stand his followers

 

WOMEN'S SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS - THE GOSPEL OF JOHN

Library | Teacher: Laura Wintory

John's Gospel takes us on a journey of belief in Christ. As we move from chapter to
chapter we are taking in the encounters that people had with Jesus. We are allow to
read His very prayers. In this class, women seek soul care through the study of God's Word, sharing with one another how to apply it to our lives, and by praying with one another. Please join us at any time during the term.

"Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."            -John 20:30-31

MEN'S SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS - STUDY OF KING DAVID

Room A3 | Teachers:  Tim Carlson, Ray Kimbell & Terry Stewart

Men, you are invited to study the life of David; God to Man, Man to Man, Man to God! David’s story is exciting, inspiring, manly, morally challenging, and ongoing. David leaves a legacy, a man after God’s own heart!

 

Next Steps

Welcome to Next Steps! Your journey begins here. This group experience will involve the discussion of the essentials necessary in the art of following Jesus.
