Contemporary Book Study:

Practice Resurrection, by Eugene Peterson (the author of The Message Bible). 

Class will be at 10:45 AM on Sunday mornings, with Marlene Tobias and Glendora Estacion as co-leaders. Books will be available on the first Sunday, Sept. 12th, or if you want one early, call the office.  

This book discusses Paul's letter to the Ephesian church, urging readers to make Christian character the centerpiece of their lives. New birth in Christ is essential, notes Peterson, yet the American church does not treat Christian growth and the formation of character with equivalent urgency. Practice Resurrection strikes at the heart of healthy Christian formation by using the voice of Scripture to guide us into the fullness of Christian maturity

Bible Survey Class: 

We plan to offer “Dust to Glory,” which includes a short video instruction by R.C. Sproul and a study guide for each participant.  This is a good class for people who want a firm foundation in the Bible.  Call the office to reserve a copy. Class leaders include Larry Froistad and  others to be selected. 

 

The Dust to Glory class will join Dr. Sproul on a unique study tour as he explores the major themes, events, and people that are brought to life in the Bible. Dust to Glory provides a panorama of biblical truth and a starting point to help you understand the content of the Bible. Dust to Glory can energize your study of the Bible, provide you with new insights, and improve your ability to read, understand, and apply Scripture to your life.
