Bible Classes

Bible classes for all ages are held at the building Sunday mornings at 9:30 am. Adult classes for September-November are:

• Auditorium – God According to God – Paul Forrest, Tom Shamblee – As we spend the year reading through the Bible, what do we learn about the character of God? This class will be a study of how God’s self-description to Moses in Exodus 34:6-7 is echoed throughout the Bible, and what it means for us. The first half of the series focuses on the passage in Exodus 34 and similar descriptions of God in different contexts in the Bible. The second half treats each quality (e.g., compassionate, slow to anger, etc.) topically and looks at how (if at all) God’s children are called to imitate that quality.
• Portico – Themes in the Book of Acts – Jeff Wright – In this Discovery Bible Study class we’ll use a structured outline to read and discuss one passage from Acts each week. The only material will be the Bible, and we’ll all be teaching each other. The goal of the class is to provide an opportunity for Christians new and old to help each other be the church that Jesus and the apostles started.
• Young Adult – Annex – James on the Mount – Brian Newberry, Elisha Freeman – Some have suggested that the book of James doesn’t belong in the bible because it barely mentions Jesus, that it was contemporary Jewish wisdom literature that was co-opted by the early Christians for their own purposes. To say this would be to miss how much the book of James echoes Jesus’ teaching, particularly the sermon on the mount. This quarter the young adults will be looking at the things that James writes to us that Jesus also speaks to us in the sermon on the mount.
• Spanish Bible Study – Downstairs fellowship room.
