"I'd Like You More If You Were More Like Me" by John Ortberg

In this 6 week video series, we'll look at one of life's most important questions: How can I get closer to God and other people? After all, we can't win in life without making deep connections. But sometimes that's difficult because we're so different from each other---and from God! The good news is that intimacy is based on shared experiences, not our similarities. Ortberg reminds us that our Creator longs to be closer to us---and to become part of our daily lives.

Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther taught by James Anderson

James Anderson will lead this class in an in depth look at the Biblical books of Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther and their application to our lives today. The books of Ezra and Nehemiah tell of new beginnings. Much like the Acts of the Apostles narrates the history of the early church, Ezra and Nehemiah tell the story of the re-establishment of the people of God after the exile through the work of Sheshbazzar, Zerubbabel, Ezra, and Nehemiah. Esther is a story about a young girl who becomes queen. It portrays the minority Jewish community in the dependent state of Diaspora, navigating a precarious existence in two worlds. The book of Esther is about the triumph of right over wrong, of God's people over their enemies. There is much to be gleaned from these ancient books.

On Wednesday Nights beginning January 10, join us for dinner at 5:45 PM, 

followed by class in Robins Room from 6:30 - 7:30 PM.

An Introduction to Inductive Bible Study taught by Sarah Marsh Schutte

Back by popular demand and expanded to cover 5 weeks, this class meets Jan. 10 to Feb. 7. Week one will introduce the Inductive method of study. The following weeks we'll study various types of Biblical literature, including History, Psalms, Gospel Narratives, and Epistles. At the end of this course you will be able to study any passage of Scripture using Observation, Interpretation, and Application questions, with the hope that you'll be equipped to pass it on and teach others how to study Scripture.

Topics relating to worldview, apologetics, theology and culture from a variety of substantial Christian authors such as Dietrick Bonhoeffer, Tim Keller, C. S. Lewis, Eric Metaxas, Stephen Meyer, John Stott, Lee Strobel and many more.
