ADULTS
One Night Class – “Praying Through the Day”
March 11
6:30–7:30 p.m. / Chapel / Andy Wells
The spiritual discipline of prayer is often seen as an isolated period of time, usually at the beginning or the end of the day. This seminar will provide biblical and practical guidance on how to blend in the attitude of prayer with all that takes place throughout the entire day.
The Gospel’s Power to Love Those Unlike Me
January 7–March 4
6:30–7:30 p.m. / B100 / Richard Rieves
The Gospel transcended cultural and racial hatred and made Jews and Greeks, slave and free, male and female brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. This class will explore this unique aspect of the Gospel’s power. As we delve into the Scriptures, we will see that racial and cultural reconciliation was a central aspect of the movement of God’s Spirit and a direct result of the Gospel’s power in the early church. We will also make application to our day in seeking true repentance and lifestyle change when it comes to relational diversity in God’s church.
