“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Juda 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. Since we completed Paul’s letters last year, we will now study Acts, Luke’s history of the early church. The book of Acts focuses on the power of the Holy Spirit as it empowered and guided the ministries of Peter, Paul, and others to 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 respond to God’s call on us to faithfully live for His Kingdom in a culture that is becoming increasingly hostile to the faith.
These interactive, 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.

The purpose of this class is to give participants a basic understanding of God’s principles around the management, ownership, and stewardship of money. Conflict in couples often stems from poor communication in this area and stress around spending and saving. We will provide basic tools for budgeting, getting out of debt, and saving for college and retirement.

We continue our study in the Acts of the Apostles from last year, but it’s not necessary to have attended previously. The beauty of Scripture is how God uses it to speak to us where we are right now! Each individual lesson stands alone on its own merit and will be used mightily by the Holy Spirit to touch every life. First, we see how the writer of the Gospel of Luke, Dr. Luke, shared the 33 years of Jesus’ life. In Acts, we will see Dr. Luke’s continued account of the next 30 years (approximately), showing us the spread and growth of the early church. The book of Acts is an absolutely necessary bridge linking the gospels and the epistles. In this class, we will see the account of the early church and the validation of the Apostles and their epistles.

It is believed that Hebrews was written to Jewish converts between 64 AD and 70 AD. It was written to encourage them not to lapse under growing persecution against Christianity and mounting heresies from Judaizers. The author of Hebrews, though known to the original recipients of the book, is now lost to church history. Nevertheless, Hebrews is very pertinent for today, where there is growing persecution, and many are turning their backs on the faith. The author of Hebrews points to the superiority of Christ and encourages us to remain faithful. Join us as we study this God-inspired book that will encourage us in our faith just as it did the early Christians.

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

Christ’s Sermon on the Mount was directed to His disciples to think and act like Christians. Likewise, Christ’s Great Commission called his followers to make disciples and teach them to obey everything he had commanded. When Jesus rescues us by His grace from the kingdom of darkness and transfers us to His kingdom, He exhorts 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 also receive blessings overflowing with blessings. Please join us for this exciting study as you strengthen your confidence and assurance of victory in Christ.

Was America established as a Christian nation, and does it remain one today? If the answer to those questions is “Yes,” then we need to determine how we should live as Christians. This class is based on the application of God’s Word to today’s culture. 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!
