The book features such learning helps as maps, charts, tables, review exercises, & self-tests to encourage reader interaction with the material in order to increase learning and comprehension. Our group study on Wednesday nights adds another dimension to the learning process. In a group, students can interact with the teacher as well as one another to deepen their insights into the nature and purpose of the Bible. Participants will be expected to read the book on their own. They will attend the group study on Wednesday nights to process what they are learning, discuss their ideas with others, clarify the insights and facts to which they are being exposed, and perhaps even celebrate with one another the blessings which come with greater understanding of God’s Word.

This 12 part series will help inform Christians of the foundational nature of today’s attacks on the Word of God, beginning in Genesis. You will be alerted to the true cause of the crumbling of our culture’s moral foundations, as well as the compromise in the church today. You will be equipped with answers to questions such as: Why should we trust the Bible? Are the creation days in Genesis literal days? Where did the “races” come from? Can we add millions of years to the Bible? Does science confirm the Bible’s history? How can we evangelize effectively in today’s culture? Please sign up on the center post in the foyer. This is a this powerfully practical 12-week DVD series that is based on Ken Ham’s 30-year ministry.
Lost in the Middle: Midlife and the Grace of God This DVD conference series is based on Paul Tripp’s book by the same title. “You do not have to be paralyzed by regret, defeated by aging, and discouraged by the passing of your dreams. This middle period of life, which can seem like the end of many things, can actually welcome you to a brand new way of living. As is so often the case in your walk with the Lord, this moment of pain is also a moment of grace.” NOTE: Although the class appears to be targeted at midlife, it addresses the universal struggles of every human being and that makes this a wonderful class for young people and young couples as well, who will unavoidably face these things. It’s an excellent way to prepare for the road ahead. You can go to: www.paultrippministries.org/lostinthemiddle to view the excellent video promoting this conference series. What is Love and Respect? We believe love best motivates a woman and respect most powerfully motivates a man. Research reveals that during marital conflict a husband most often reacts when feeling disrespected and a wife reacts when feeling unloved. We asked 7,000 people this question: when you are in a conflict with your spouse or significant other, do you feel unloved or disrespected? 83% of the men said "disrespected." 72% of the women said, ‘unloved.’ Though we all need love & respect equally, the felt need differs during conflict, and this difference is as different as pink is from blue! Please sign up in the foyer. This is a powerful and practical 5-week DVD conference series that is based on Dr. Eggerichs’ book “Love & Respect”.For Promotional Videos go to: http://loveandrespect.com/conference-preview/ |
