Breakthrough Living – The Book of Acts

Bob Brackin
Room 242

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8 (ESV)

We continue our spiritual journey through the New Testament in the chronological order in which the books were written. We started our study of Acts last year and will continue studying Acts, Luke’s history of the early church. Acts focuses on the Great Commission, the last words of Jesus before he ascended into Heaven, and the power of the Holy Spirit as He empowered and guided the ministries of Peter, Paul, and others to fulfill that Commission and expand the church beyond Jerusalem to the Gentiles. Despite resistance and persecution, these early apostles and saints persevered in living and sharing their faith. Their examples strengthen and encourage us today as we, the church, continue to fulfill Jesus’s Great Commission and respond to God’s call on us to faithfully live for His Kingdom in a culture becoming increasingly hostile to the faith.

These interactive, discussion-oriented teachings are led by a group of class members who are mature in the faith, who love God’s Word, and who align their daily walk with their heavenly calling. This approach provides a rich variety of experiences, perspectives, interpretations, and insights that guide us as we study God’s Word and incorporate it into our daily lives.

Conversion Clarity

James Saxon
Room 229 ABC

The Conversion Clarity course is designed to help believers, or those considering Christianity, fully comprehend the salvation experience that springs out of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Many people are struggling in their spiritual journey, because they are trying to function with either a shallow or shaky foundation. The course is taught in a discovery format through small groups observing related scripture passages with a facilitator and is highly participative. The desired outcome is to develop in participants a thorough understanding of the full implications of having a healthy, functional relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

Family Connection:
Applying the Gospel to Family Life

Cris Jackson
Room 620-623

Families need the Gospel. The home is where the Church must first and foremost live out the Gospel. Our class desires to be a community of families that walk alongside one another in bringing the Gospel to the home. Each Sunday, we seek to build community by eating breakfast, reading Scripture, and praying together. Currently, our teaching time focuses on family life in Paul’s letter to the Romans, the philosophy of the Christian family, and family discipleship practices. Each lesson involves a table group conversation discussing biblical truths that can be implemented personally. As we leave each Sunday, numerous resources — from books to podcasts — are suggested to encourage, equip, and reinforce the discipleship of your family. We hope you will join us in this pursuit — Applying the Gospel to Family Life!

Hebrews: Christ Exalted as our Great High Priest

Tom Taylor
Room 244
In-Person or Online

We will study the Book of Hebrews, seeing Christ as we have never seen Him before and how that leads us into new and renewed faith.

Jesus’ Revelation to John

Lee Holston
Room 243
In-Person or Online

We will try to explain Jesus’s Revelation through other scriptures, such as the Old and New Testaments, without resorting to theologies. Jesus was always careful to include explanations of his difficult parables, and to some degree, that is true here. Deuteronomy says that a fact is established on the witness of two, so we will look for confirming scriptures to establish facts.

Man’s Identity in God
Men’s Group

Bruce Cerbone
Room 203

Our biggest challenge as men is understanding who we are and our purpose. When we begin to understand that our identity and purpose are directly tied to God, we are free to be who he has designed us to be. Join us as we dig deeper into God’s Word and study the men God has used to enhance His Kingdom and change the world. Let’s learn and encourage each other to follow God’s will and purpose for our lives as men of God to change today’s world.

S.A.L.T. (Single Adults Living in Truth 40 and above)

Mike Glass
Room 614-615

Whether you’re new to Apostles or want to connect with our singles community, this gathering is for you. Join other mid-singles, ages 40 and above, to build friendships and grow in grace. As a single adult, finding and building meaningful community within the church can be hard. Each week we seek to build up our community of singles as we look at key passages in the Bible to help us practically live out our faith together. Additionally, we have round table interaction and practical biblical teaching to help everyone understand how to live out the Gospel in our work, family, and friendships.

The Books of 1 and 2 Thessalonians

Roger Hill
Room 229 ABC

1 and 2 Thessalonians are Paul’s Eschatology Epistles (his two letters to the believers in Thessalonica). Eschatology is quite a challenging subject and is often avoided by many because everybody’s views are different. Paul and Silas were there less than four weeks, but this did not stop them from addressing this topic! These were brand new believers, yet Paul was already teaching about eschatology – the return of Jesus Christ and the study of the “end times.” In the first letter, we will learn about Jesus’ return in the air to gather the saints. Then, in the second letter, we will learn about the “man of lawlessness” and Jesus’ return to earth to establish His rule and Kingdom. This gives us a great opportunity to pull in great truths from the Old Testament all the way into Revelation. Whichever way you look at “end times,” remember that we don’t get into Heaven based on being pre-trib, mid-trib, or post-trib, but on our relationship with Jesus Christ and that alone! What a blessing!

The Book of James

Baker Smith and Huck Whitener
Room 234
In-Person or Online

When God rescues us from darkness to light and from the dominion of satan to God, he calls us to a life of joy and fulfillment, not defeat and despair. That is why Jesus said he came from Heaven so that we may have life and have it more abundantly. James gives practical guidance on how to think and act like a Christian. James says God is the source of every good gift we ever receive. Please join our class to taste and see the many gifts that God showers on us.

The Epistle of Ephesians

Monte Johnson
Room 237 ABCD
In-Person or Online

We will continue studying the “Life and Letters of Paul,” following the timeline outlined in the Book of Acts. At this point in our study, Paul is on his third missionary journey, having just left Ephesus and traveling in and around Macedonia. Here, he writes the letter to the Christians in Ephesus.

Come and join us as we discover the truths Paul wrote to the church at Ephesus that were relevant to both the 1st Century and for all who have followed. In addition to the truths and related applications, we will have the opportunity to know what Paul meant when he wrote that we are “in Christ” and all that means!

The Gospel of Luke – Women’s Group

Tonja Brice, Laurie Graffo and Sherrie Rodriguez
Room 607-610
In-Person & Online

The Gospel of Luke gives us a beautiful portrait of our compassionate Savior, Jesus Christ. The book covers the life of Jesus and all He began to do and teach until the day He was taken up to Heaven. Luke’s portrayal of Jesus reveals the love and mercy of Christ to all people – no matter their station in life. Join us as we explore key insights that can be shared with everyone we encounter.

Was America Established as A Christian Nation, And Does It Remain One Today?

Bobby Mitchell, Sr.
Room 239
In-Person & Online

If the answer to those questions is “Yes,” then we need to determine how we should live. This class is based upon the application of God’s Word to today’s culture, supplemented with insights from the book, “100 Bible Verses that Shaped America.” What are the challenges and the call on our lives? What is the role of revivals and awakenings? How can we, as Christians, stand up and make a difference? Will God bless us again, or is this the end times? Come join us for this challenging study!

Why I Believe

Andrew Bradley
Room 612-613
In-Person & Online

This class is an apologetic argument for the superiority of Christianity. Why is Christianity the truth and all other religions false? We will look at the following topics from a biblical perspective:

Prophecy about Christ
Fine-Tuning
Consciences
Love, beauty, and life
Purpose
Order
Second Law of Thermodynamics
Physical Laws
Morality (Good and Evil)
Creation
End time Prophecy
Archaeological evidence
Accuracy of the Bible
The Flood
The disciples fled at Christ’s arrest, but after the resurrection, they died a martyr’s death
Miracles
All other religions are tolerated except Christianity. Why?
