Genesis 22: A Journey of Faith

Wednesdays, April 4 – May 23 (8 weeks), 7:00 – 8:30 pm
Level: all
Instructor: Bryan Lloyd (via distance learning technology)

In the famous story of Abraham being called to sacrifice his son Isaac, there are many obvious Bible echoes of God's giving His beloved Son on the cross. But look closer and ask the question, "Why is this or that particular detail mentioned?" For example: "Why is saddling the donkey mentioned?" "Why the mention of the wood being split?"  "Why a burnt offering?"  "Why the land of Moriah?"  Let's take a deeper look, and together we'll gain a greater appreciation of the astounding miracle of God's interconnected word.
 

Finding Love, Joy and Peace in a Crazy World

Thursdays, April 5 – May 3 (5 weeks), 7:00 – 8:30 pm
Level: all
Instructor: Kyle Tucker (via distance learning technology)

Are you sad? Angry? Scared? Worried? Frustrated with loved ones or friends?  Our lives in our modern world can often feel stressed, hectic, even out-of-control at times. The Bible reveals the secret of successful, joyful living today, by helping us to take control of our emotions and our lives. The Bible calls it "the peace that passes understanding", and it is only possible through connecting to God's Spirit. Join us for some insightful classes exploring how to slow the pace, how to control the responses, and how to listen to God's "still small voice".
 

Bible Prophecy Workshop

Thursdays, May 10 – May 24 (3 weeks), 7:00 – 8:30 pm
Level: intermediate to advanced
Instructor: Paul Zilmer

Among Bible students, there have been many attempts to figure out what is meant by the prophecies in the Bible about “the last days”. What is rare is to let the Lord Jesus explain it!  His disciples asked, “What will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?” And he answered them!  In this workshop, students will do hands-on work, using the key provided by Jesus in his Olivet prophecy, to explore how “last days” prophecies in both Old and New Testaments fit together in an exciting message of hope.
