Join us on Sunday nights this winter for a variety of options for discipleship and spiritual growth. Classes meet from 6:00-7:00 PM from January 8 - March 4, 2012.
READ THE BIBLE FOR LIFE
Leader: Russell Mundy | Cost: $7
|
Created and preserved by the hand of God, the Bible was written over a period of 1,500 years by at least 39 different authors. Its 66 books include a variety of literary types. Yet in spite of its diversity, the Bible is unified by one story – the story of God’s persistent love for sinful people and His passionate desire to redeem them as His own. Read the Bible for Life will help you grasp the grand story of Scripture. You will learn how the various books of the Bible fit together to present that story and communicate God’s redemptive message. And you will discover new skills for listening to, understanding, and responding to God’s Word in ways that will change your life.

ADULT BIBLE DRILL - SCRIPTURE MEMORY 101
Leaders: Heather Castleberry & Kathy Shannon | Cost: none
|
Come learn how to memorize Scripture the way our children do through music, games, and lots of fun. We will begin with learning to locate all 66 books of the Bible and six important passages. We will also be memorizing 12 verses with the hopes that this will equip you and motivate you to continue memorizing many more because having God's Word committed to memory helps you conform to Christ, gain instruction for living, gain strength, gain comfort and counsel, witness to unbelievers, commune with God and rest in knowledge that He made us and loves us.

GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES
Leader: Bobby Webb | Cost: $7
|
Jesus poured His truth and His life into the first disciples. Then, in His final words preceding the ascension, He instructed that they likewise go and make disciples, teaching them all that He had commanded. The Apostle Paul also modeled and wrote about these essential discipling relationships. For the church of tomorrow, such mentoring is just as critical today. In this class, you will learn how you can invest in growing disciples and prepare them to do the same for others (who will then do this for yet others!).

GOSPEL REVOLUTION - RECOVERING THE POWER OF CHRISTIANITY
Leader: Ken Castleberry | Cost: $7
|
Even though we’re constantly busy for God, is something still missing? The list of what “good Christians” should be doing never seems to end. The result is many Christians find themselves more exhausted than inspired. Jesus’ revolutionary message is that the center of Christianity is not a list of things we are to be doing for God, but an announcement of what He has done for us. This study will feature the teaching of J. D. Greear, senior pastor of Summit Church in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, and our focus will be on the first four books of the New Testament which are known collectively as “the Gospels.” For those who have become weary in the Christian life as well as those who are curious about what the Christian life is all about, this GOSPEL REVOLUTION study is for you!
