new testament survey
jan - may, 2025 @ 9:30 am
Teacher: Dr. David G. Barker
This is an introductory level class through the group of books in the New Testament. This will include the Gospels, Acts, Pauline letters, the other letters, and Revelation. The New Testament is at the heart of our understanding of the Old Testament but also of our own times as well.
the prayers of scripture
jan - may, 2025 @ 9:30 am
Teachers: Pastor Nick Hathaway and Elder Leu Beach
Why theorize about what prayer should be when you could study actual prayers of the Bible to deduce godly patterns, attitudes, and circumstances of prayer from the Bible itself? As we read and discuss these prayers we will practice biblical prayer.
Occasionally, this series will crossover into topics for sporadic evening services.
the canon of scripture
June - august, 2025 @ 9:30 am
Teachers: Pastors Nick Hathaway & Kurt Scharping
History, archaeology, and exegesis combine to give Christians confidence in the legitimacy and authority of the scriptures they know to be the Bible. In this fourteen-week class, Pastor Hathaway and Pastor Scharping will go over the ideas of inspiration and canonicity. We'll address common critiques of both the Old and New Testament canon. We will assess the apocrypha and pseudepigrapha and their legitimacy. Leveraging the findings of Roger Beckwith and Michael Kruger, we'll refute erroneous views on the origin of the canon.
the doctrine of sin
June - august, 2025 @ 9:30 am
Teacher: Mr. Bob Brown
Got sin? Jesus said, “I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” This summer, consider attending an Adult Education class
on biblical teaching regarding the doctrine of sin. Lord willing, each week
will consist of a Scriptural study and discussion of topics including God’s
holiness, the origin and pervasiveness of sin, the Bible’s lists of sins, the
remedy for sin in Jesus, sin in the believer and Christian community,
parenting “little” sinners, and the end of sin in glorification. The class
is led by Bob Brown, who brings more than 56 years’ experience in transgressions and iniquity.
