Adult Sunday Classes
The Parables of Jesus
Facilitated by Jim Cullen
Classes to be held on April 15, 22, May 6 and 13.
Jesus told stories about everyday life, but they were stories with a twist. He intended to challenge people's assumptions about life. His short parables not only evoked emotion, they demanded life change. This study will allow you to comprehend, discuss, and maybe even debate the incredible teachings of the Son of God Himself. It's impossible to spend time with Jesus and remain the same. This study will help you grow deeper spiritually.
Discovering God’s Will
Facilitated by Robin Fossum
Classes to be held on April 15, 22, May 6 and 13.
God has a personal vision for our lives, and He wants us to know it even more than we do. But determining God’s will can be a difficult process, especially when we need to make a decision in a hurry. This exciting study is DVD based, featuring the teaching of Andy Stanley. The Discovering God’s Will DVD will take you through the important steps of decision making, pursuing God’s will, seeking counsel from others, learning to use discernment, and understanding the mind of God through Scripture as you seek His will. Robin will also add her insights and lead the group through a lively discussion of each lesson. You can join Robin in the Community Center’s main room for this class.
