These discussion-oriented teachings are led by class members who are mature in the faith, who love God’s Word, and who align their daily walk with their heavenly calling.

We will look at the current culture through the lens of Genesis. What does Genesis tell us about the cosmos, our world, who we are as men and women, and how are we to engage with our friends and neighbors?
We will learn more about how God reveals Himself in Genesis, of the breadth and depth of His goodness. We will learn the language of the world today and how we should not be conformed to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of our minds. We will look at what the James Webb Telescope is revealing about the universe and look at genetics, fossils, and early technology. With each class, we will try to understand what our response, as the Church of Jesus Christ, is to this modern world.

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.

Whether you’re new to Apostles or want to connect with our singles community, this gathering is for you. Join with 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.

Room 237 ABCD
The book of Acts is the only “sequel” to the gospels. Dr. Luke, in his Gospel, gives us the 33 years of Jesus’ life, and then in Acts, he gives us the account of the next approximately 30 years, showing us the spread and growth of the early church. The book of Acts is also a necessary bridge linking the gospels and the epistles. In this class, we will not only see the account of the early church but also see the validation of the Apostles and their epistles.

Room 234

Christ’s Sermon on the Mount was directed to his disciples on how to think and act like a Christian. Likewise, Christ’s Great Commission ordered his followers to make disciples and teach them to obey everything he had commanded. When Jesus calls us by his grace from the kingdom of darkness to his kingdom, he commands us to live our lives to give glory to God and to draw others to Christ. As we respond to his teaching, Jesus promises us that we will be like the wise man who built his house on the rock and will be able to withstand any storm without falling. As doers of God’s word, we not only become more conformed to the image of his Son but receive blessings overflowing with blessings. Please join us for this exciting study as you strengthen your confidence and assurance of victory in Christ.

What does it mean to be saved? The Apostle Paul delves deep into the question of salvation in the Book of Romans. Luther wrestled with this very question. He did not see how anyone could be holy enough to be accepted by God. Luther found no peace until the Lord revealed from Romans what it meant to be saved. Romans 1:17 says, “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith as it is written, ‘The just shall live by faith.'” It was not until Luther understood what the Apostle Paul was saying from Romans that he found peace. The Book of Romans is the greatest treatise on salvation ever written. As we study Romans, we will gain an in-depth understanding of what it means to be saved and how we are to live in light of what Christ has done for us.

We will continue our study of the “Life and Letters of Paul,” following the timeline as outlined in the Book of Acts. At this point in our study, Paul is on his 3rd missionary journey, has just left Ephesus, and is traveling in and around Macedonia. Here, he writes the 2nd letter to the Church of Corinth, which is where we will continue this semester.
Come and join us as we discover the truths Paul writes to the Church at Corinth that were relevant to the 1st Century and for all who have followed. In addition to the truths and related applications, we will see the vulnerability of Paul as he shares transparently with the believers and friends in Corinth!
