“Walking with God in the Desert “(That the World May Know Series #12)
Are you going through a difficult period of life? The loss of a loved one? Unemployment? A crisis of faith? During these desert times, it’s easy to think God has disappeared. Instead, discover that it’s only when we are totally dependent on Him that we find Him closer than ever and can experience God’s amazing grace and provision.
This DVD based study will be lead by Pastor Peter and features renowned teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan.
“Building Faith @ Home”
Joshua declared long ago that his household “will serve the Lord” (Josh 24:15). But, we live in a turbulent society where our faith is questioned on a number of levels in many different ways. How do we develop Biblical principles into our faith journey and those that we live with or care about? Are you a parent or grandparent exploring how to encourage faith in your children or grandchildren?
Pastor Dan will explore, together with those in this class, several principles and Scripture passages that will encourage us to seek ways to strengthen faith in our own homes.
“Christ, Christians & Christianity: Common Misconceptions”
Many people, both Christians and non-Christian alike, go through life firmly believing things about Christ, Christians and Christianity that are have no basis in reality. Some such misconceptions are relatively harmless, while others are real barriers that keep people away from the church. Over the last decade or so, since the rise of “new atheists” like Richard Dawkins, the number of things that people believe about Christianity that simply are not true has exploded. This course will look at the most common and problematic misunderstandings about what it means to be a Christian. Hopefully, identifying and understanding things like this will help us as we interact with non-believers (who may know very little about Christianity), with new Christians (who are just beginning to learn what it’s all about), and even with mature believers.
This study will be led by Trevor Sawler.
