Sunday Morning Track
FIRST QUARTER
“Nehemiah”
He was a man on a mission. All of us are called by God to effectively influence the world we live in. In this study we will learn principles on communication, conflict resolution, when to fight and how to fight, how to successfully work with others, and many other life equipping skills.
SECOND QUARTER
“The Bible and the Land”
Each week we will learn amazing lessons from the land of Israel both from modern and biblical times that will give us new understanding of God’s word. In addition, at the beginning of every class there will be an update from Israel news, archaeological or scientific discovery or other events in the Middle East.
THIRD QUARTER
“Grace Anatomy” (A study of Galatians)
Have you ever wondered why so many Christians live defeated lives frustrated by their own hypocrisy and failure? The Apostle Paul's letter to the Galatians is God's remedy to that failure and defeat. What is that remedy? It is grace, which is the power to be who God redeemed you to be.
FOURTH QUARTER
“IGNITE: Seven Steps to Dynamic Breakthrough”
How do we ignite spiritual passion? How can we find dynamic breakthrough in the midst of busyness, temptation and discouragement? Are there timeless truths that can help today? Yes there are! Join us as we study the ‘letters to the seven churches’ in the book of Revelation.
Tuesday Morning Track
FIRST QUARTER
“America’s Godly Heritage”
The class will dissect inspiring history from the time the separatists left the state church of England to pursue a land where they could freely worship God to the time when the founding fathers crafted the frame work of government under the inspiration and direction of the hand of the Holy Spirit to be one nation under God.
SECOND QUARTER
“Church History in Plain Language”
In this exciting study we will be learning to put the puzzle of the Churches history together in a clear, understandable, and exciting way, and to be able to share it with others. Jesus said I will build my Church we have church history and we are part of making church history.
THIRD QUARTER
“Islam: It’s Past, Present and Future in Changing Times”
The events of 9/11 left many throughout the world stunned at the reality that Islam is still alive and so powerful as a religion. Yet, through the eyes of the followers of Muhammad – this attack fit the context of their existence and validated their prophetic future of world domination. In this class we will examine the chaotic beginnings of this ‘third’ religion, look at its growth and impact on the nations of the world as we discuss the future of Islam as they see it in history.
FOURTH QUARTER
“Creation”
The debate over creation and evolution shows no sign of letting up. This has become a worldview battleground, one that cannot be ignored, and perhaps it is the most important issue of our day. A person’s worldview shapes the very foundation of how they live their life. In this course we will examine the evidence to determine which worldview—creation or evolution—presents the most accurate portrayal of the history of earth.
