Gnosticism: From Nag Hammadi to the Gospel of Judas
Location: Room 204
Gnosticism is one of the most fascinating and perplexing phenomena in Western religious history. At its heart was gnosis—direct knowledge of God—expressed in complicated myths. Yet Gnosticism itself often escapes our knowledge. Was it the first great Christian heresy? A new world religion? Or an invention of alarmed Christian leaders and modern scholars? How did it influence other religions? And why did its mythology appeal to so many people? Above all, what does Gnosticism mean?
Cultivating Relationships: Irresistible - Reclaiming the New that Jesus Unleashed for the World
Location: Room 201
Come join us for an 8-session DVD-based Pastor Andy Stanley Bible study titled “Follow”. He writes… “Lots of people think Christianity is all about doing what Jesus says. But what if doing what Jesus says isn’t what Jesus says to do at all? Jesus’ invitation is an invitation to relationship, and it begins with a simple request: follow me. Religion says "Change and you can join us." Jesus says, "Join us and you will change." There’s a huge difference. Jesus doesn’t expect people to be perfect. He just wants them to follow Him. Being a sinner doesn’t disqualify anyone. Being an unbeliever doesn’t disqualify anyone. In fact, following almost always begins with a sinner or an unbeliever taking one small step… In this study, Andy Stanley will take us on a journey through the Gospels as he traces Jesus’ teaching on what it means to follow.”
Fellowship Bible Study Class
Location: Parlor/Fellowship Room
This class utilizes the "International Sunday School Lessons" curriculum. The theme for March-May is "Justice and the Prophets". Student booklets are available for free at the class on Sunday mornings or anytime through the church office.
Women's Sunday School Class: Waiting on God
Location: Room 202
Waiting on God challenges our faith when the bills are stacking up, our families are falling apart, or our dreams feel like they won't come true. We know that God hears our prayers, but it's hard when the clock is ticking yet He hasn't shown us the answer. Together we will discover that there is goodness and blessing to be found in times of waiting, including a closer relationship with God than we've ever dared to dream.
College-Age
Location: Library
Join other college-aged individuals in an intimate setting to explore faith and Scriptures together using video guides and other guided materials.
Youth: Simplicity - Finding Contentment in a Busy Life
Location: Activities Building
Youth in grades 6-12 are welcome to join us for a deeper dive into Scripture where we explore the hard questions and deal with confusing Scripture together in an open environment. You don't need to bring anything but yourself, so come join us as we dive in to the Bible together in new and creative ways.
Children: Learning about Traditions
Location: Downstairs Children's Rooms
Each week in between the 9a.m. and 11:15a.m. services, children are invited to come learn about the many traditions in the church. We will get a better understanding of how the traditions started, what they really mean, and why we still do them. Let's explore The Lord's Prayer, All Saints Day, the meaning behind acolytes, and much more together!
