Led by: David Carroll and David Skove
Join us for expository Bible teaching of 1 Peter in the tradition of “Inductive Bible Study.” I Peter deals with separation, suffering, persecution, hope, courage and above all: the true grace of God. Our teachers ask the three classic questions of each text: (i) what does it say; (ii) what did it mean to them (the original audience); and (iii) what does it mean to us? This class is centered on understanding and applying God’s Word for his glory and our growth as his people. All ages and backgrounds are encouraged to attend. Our study will be engaging wherever you are in your Christian walk.

The minor prophets are the source of inspiring quotes and proclamations of judgment. How are we to think of them in the context of God's great story? In this course we will study six of the 12 minor prophets and explore themes of judgment, redemption, promise and hope.
ENGAGING GOD THROUGH OUR EMOTIONS*
Sundays, 10:00 a.m., Room 217 and Zoom (PW: 797586)
Led by: Drew Cleveland
Our emotions are complex. Some of us seem able to ignore our feelings, while others feel controlled by them. But most of us would admit that we don’t always know what to do with how we feel. Anger, anxiety, sorrow, disgust, and joy - these are just a few of the emotions Jesus expressed as he lived among us. The Bible teaches us that our emotions are an indispensable part of what makes us human―and play a crucial role in our relationships with God and others. This class with explore the emotional life of Jesus, the way God communicates to us through our emotions and how can we engage them as complicated, but good gifts.
THE GOSPEL CENTERED LIFE*
Sundays, 10:00 a.m., 2nd Floor Conference Room, 500 Forest Avenue and Zoom (PW: 653629)
Led by: Derek Mondeau
The phrase 'gospel-centered' has become a popular buzzword in Christianity, but how many of us understand how the gospel shapes all of life? Just because we talk about the Gospel, does not mean we are being transformed by it. Through Scripture study, group discussions and practical activities this highly interactive class will help you apply the gospel to every aspect of your life, regardless of where you are in your spiritual journey.
