Fall 2010 Adult Education Classes
August – October

Sunday and Wednesday Classes

There are 14 weeks in this quarter.  The elders plan to use one week for a special program.

Romans (part 2)
Jonathan Jones II
Fellowship Hall

Do you feel the joy of your salvation?  Restore the excitement of your relationship with God by digging into a study of grace!  The adult class in the fellowship hall will continue a study of Paul's letter to the Romans (chapters 8-16).  In order to be saved, we must experience the “double cure” of salvation.  We not only need the forgiveness provided by the blood of Jesus, we need the transformative power of the indwelling of God’s Holy Spirit.  Come be a part of this engaging study and experience God’s intimacy, his Sovereignty, and his power to transform us to a new way of life.

Love and Respect
Dr. David Snow & Staff
Room 204

Maybe you have heard that a woman needs to be loved by her husband and a man needs to be respected by his wife.  However, if you are like the average man or woman, you are thinking, “Sure, that all sounds great, but what does it mean?”  Once you and your spouse understand what it means to love and respect, relational landmines can be avoided.  The result can be greater love, deeper intimacy and movement toward the kind of marriage that God desires for you.  For greater insight into Ephesians 5:33 you are invited to view the Love and Respect DVDs and then share in the class discussion with a discussion leader.

A Glimpse into God’s Heart
Herbert Byrd III
Room 202

Based on the book A Glimpse into God’s Heart, Learning Forgiveness from the Father, written by Kirk Brothers, this class seeks to deepen our understanding of God’s forgiveness.  We will study why we need forgiveness, what God has done to make forgiveness possible, how we can accept forgiveness, and how forgiveness can be seen in the life of the Christian.  A richer understanding of God’s forgiveness helps us experience the peace that passes understanding, gives us confidence to overcome fear and doubt, and provides the basis for confident Christian living.

Bible Class and Worship for the Deaf (begins at 10:00 a.m.)
Room 205

Sunday Only Classes

Young Adults
Bert Paddock
Room 206

Meeting God... Young adults come join us this fall as we reintroduce ourselves to God.  As Christians we often forget why we fell in love with God.  Let’s journey together as we meet God again in all his greatness and majesty.  If you find your interest waning, come join us as we re-ignite our passion and love for the God we long to serve and trust in.

Wednesday Only Classes

Sign Language
Laura Huff
Room 206

The Truth Project
Mike Farmer
Library

Class will be from 6:00—8:00 p.m. with a maximum of 16 students.  One hour of class will be watching a DVD and one hour will be intense discussion of the Focus on the Family’s “The Truth Project”.  The class will attempt to help you create a Biblical world view and become more aware of the lies of the world.  There is a sign up sheet on the bulletin board for this class.

We have three new mission reports available from missionaries we support. They are in PDF format and are available for download from our Downloads -> Documents section. (You will need the free Adobe Reader software to read them).
