With Dr. Jerry L. Walls
Sunday, September 9 

Dr. Walls will teach from his book, Does God Love Everyone?: The Heart of What's Wrong with Calvinism, addressing how this theology of predestination is fraught with difficulty. Instead, we should favor a theology that can forthrightly and consistently affirm the love of God for all people.

With the Rev. Dr. Suse McBay
Sundays, September 16, 23 and 30
 

1 and 2 Samuel tell some of the most famous Bible stories we learn as children: the calling of Samuel; David's selection as king and the story of little David against the Philistine, Goliath. Hear about the more challenging aspects of 1 and 2 Samuel, looking at the men relentlessly seeking their own gain, and where and how God is at work.

The 20s and 30s ministry welcomes both singles and couples without kids for regular times of Bible study, small groups and outreach projects.
