THE PARABLES
FACILITATOR: FRANK WILKERSON

Various sections of the Bible give us grand theology. Other sections move us to a grateful response to God. Parables break through mere words and make us ask whether God's truth has made any real difference in our lives. Jesus packaged truth in parables! This study will look at two major questions while we examine these wonderful and memorable truths. Question #1:Why did Jesus teach in parables? Question #2: How do we interpret them correctly? If you think you know, bewaređ

1 CORINTHIANS FOR YOU, BY ANDREW WILSON
FACILITATORS: Brett & CHAD Minter
LOCATION: FELLOWSHIP HALL CLASSROOM WING, ROOM FH24
The scope of 1 Corinthians is breathtaking. Paul tackles a huge variety of subjects, and as he does so, he gives us a precious insight into what a local church is (or at least can be).
As Andrew Wilson walks through this compelling, challenging epistle, you'll see how grace looks in every Christian and how it can shape every church--even a church as flawed as the Corinthian one.

THINGS TO COME
FACILITAROR: BARBARA LESLIE
STARTING SEPTEMBER 8TH
MONDAY NIGHTS FROM 6:30PM - 8:30PM
The Bible devotes considerable space to the events that were prophetic when they were written, and the events that are yet to be fulfilled. These events outline Godâs redemptive plan for His people and the earth, as well as the final judgment and victory over evil. The heart of this class is for Christ followers to make a careful study of these events, and to have a better understanding of the things of God.
A MEN'S STUDY
experiencing the presence of god
BY A. W. Tozer
FACILITATOR: TIM PRATER
monday MORNINGS AT 8:00 AM
location: Education Center
"The ministry of the Holy Spirit is not a luxury; it is an absolute necessity," writes celebrated author and respected pastor Warren Wiersbe. In his first of two books covering Acts, Be Dynamic focuses on Peter's ministry, mostly in Israel and centered in Jerusalem. Through explaining Luke's record of the Gospel's advancement and church expansion, Wiersbe opens the door to understanding the work of the church today. Using hard-hitting quotes from recognized names like St. Augustine and John Bunyan, Wiersbe proves himself as a well-read author and gifted writer. The depth of his study is astounding, yet the accessibility of his text for every age group is evident as well. He proves what Luke intended-for Acts to be interpreted not as the apostles' glorious acts, but as the life-changing acts of the Holy Spirit. The same Spirit lives in believers today, the same God calls followers to expand His church, and the same basic problems still arise within the church, but the same power available then is still available now to change the nations.

THE AMAZING COLLECTION: PAUL'S LETTERS TO THE PASTORS
FACILITATOR: bETTY JEAN CARTER
TUESDAY MORNINGS AT 9:30 AM
location: EDUCATION CENTER, ROOM EC13
BEGINS SEPTEMBER 2ND
These letters were written over a period of six years, from AD 61 to 67. Second Timothy is Paulâs last epistle penned from prison, most likely just months before his martyrdom. From the very beginning of the church, leadership was necessary, and appropriate leaders and their leadership roles had to be established. Thus, as you study these books, you will become acquainted with the character traits of a leader, the various forms of leadership, the descriptions of ministry for various groups of people within the church, and the warnings against false teachers and practices.All of this was new ground in the first century AD, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, it was ground broken well and permanently. Two millennia later, biblical churches still look to these books for direction in church leadership.
