CORNERSTONES OF TRUTH: SESSION 2

Leader: Don Blasko

Location: Room 305, Main Building

Having shown in Session I (hopefully!) that God exists and the Bible can be trusted, now we will explore what the Bible teaches us about who God is and how we relate to Him. This will include the attributes of God, the Trinity, the sovereignty of God and human freewill, angels and demons and the fall of man and original sin. We’ll also discuss what different denominations believe about these things.

PROVERBS

Leader: Doug Keim

Location: Barclay Building (lower building)

This semester, we will continue our study of this awesome book. We will be studying Chapters 12 & 13, verse by verse, and see how this amazing Old Testament book applies to our lives today. I hope you will join me as we dig into the next section of Proverbs.

HEBREWS

Leader: Bill Martin

Location: Church Parlor, Main Building

The book of Hebrews is a magnificent New Testament work. It gives us unique insights into the meaning of the Old Testament in light of the New, and the meaning of the New Testament in light of the Old. It is a tremendous resource for extending and deepening our knowledge of Christ. This class will emphasize these themes.

FAITH DRIVEN PARENTING

Leaders: Kelly Knapp & guests

Location: Fellowship Hall, Main Building

Everyone is shooting for something in parenting. Good kids or God-centered kids? Healthy functioning kids or holy (set apart for the Lord) kids? Join us as we explore one of God’s greatest (and most challenging!) gifts to us: family. We will primarily be looking at what God’s created purpose was in the formation of families and what resulted because of the Fall. Whether we talk about the practicalities and challenges of raising young children, reflecting on how children should honor father and mother (and ultimately the Lord), or navigating other tricky family dynamics that come up on this parenting journey—we will do so all to the Praise of His Glory!

APOLOGETICS

Leader: Kristy Tomashewski

Location: Barclay Building

Introduction to Apologetics: Why We Believe What We Believe. Have you ever had a non-Christian friend ask a really tough question about your faith, but you didn’t have an adequate answer? In this introduction to apologetics, we will take a look at ways to defend the Christian faith against other belief systems or worldly arguments.

WHY I CAN TRUST THE BIBLE

Leader: Henry Knapp

Location: Room 305, Main

We are frequently told we can no longer assume the Bible is trustworthy or true. Many have raised serious questions about where the Bible came from, highlighting various difficulties or pointing out contradictions, and challenging if the books in the Bible are even the right ones. In this class, we will explore such things: where are the actual, physical letters that Paul wrote? What’s the difference between a version, a translation and an edition? Do we all have to learn Greek/Hebrew to really read the Bible? Why doesn’t Henry like Study Bibles (what’s his problem, anyways)? How do we know errors haven’t crept into the Bible via human transfer? The goal is to inspire confidence in the Scripture the Lord has given us and to help guide believers to trust the Bible fully.

HEBREWS: PART 3

Leader: Bill Martin

Location: Parlor

The book of Hebrews is a magnificent New Testament work. It gives us unique insights into the meaning of the Old Testament in light of the New, and the meaning of the New Testament in light of the Old. It is a tremendous resource for extending and deepening our knowledge of Christ. This class will emphasize these themes.

HOW TO WALK INTO CHURCH

Leader: Margie Krogh

Location: Fellowship Hall

How do you walk into church? Eagerly, grudgingly, expectantly, or do you just walk in through the door and go sit down? This study guides your heart and mind to walk into church with a prayerful purpose. Where will you sit? Who will you interact with? This study will help create a new awareness of how you personally interact with those around you on Sunday morning!
