The Basics of Disciple Making
Room A 208-210
Led by Troy Phillips and Mark Etherington
Discipleship is a term thrown around a lot, but what is it exactly? Is it a 1-on-1 bible study, or is it something more? In this equipping hour class, we aim to bring clarity to that question and help you gain a biblical perspective on making disciples. We will discuss what it is, where you can see it in the Bible, and how you can participate in it in your own life to the glory of God!
Guiding Little hearts: Biblical wisdom for young Parents
Room A 202-204
Led by Clint Goode, Taylor Marsh, and Howard Bennett
Parenting is more than behavior management—it’s about reaching your child’s heart with the gospel. This class draws from Shepherding a Child’s Heart by Tedd Tripp to help young parents build a biblical foundation for parenting in the early years. Together, we’ll explore how to disciple your children with grace, understand their development, and apply Scripture to real-life parenting moments.
Worldviews and Worshippers
Room A 206
Led by Garrett Plunkett and Stephen Fulmer
Many people in the 21st century lack a “cohesive worldview” or complete framework of beliefs which governs how they think, where they believe existence is heading, and what they believe to be of ultimate value. Numerous worldviews exist today that offer a “complete picture” of reality, claiming for themselves the title of “the truth” about life, existence, and everything. Join us as we examine the competing worldviews and analyze them in light of the truths taught in Scripture. As we do, we must also examine our own hearts, which are worshippers by nature, and learn to worship rightly. Likewise, we must learn to have a heart for those who worship wrongly, and to understand why they worship the gods they do.
Portraits of god’s providence
Joint Heirs | Activity Center
Led by Paul Hamline, Mike Meadors, Jason Lapp, and Reuben Staton
We know God is sovereign, but do we fully grasp that God is purposeful? God creates, preserves, upholds, governs, and directs. Some may struggle with this doctrine, but John Piper reminds us that “Immersing ourselves in the ocean of His providence is meant to help us know Him, fear Him, trust Him, and love Him as we ought.” We will seek to better understand God’s providence, and trust that our hearts will be strengthened as it is demonstrated through Scripture.
Acts
Women’s Class | Room A 211
We will be going through the book of Acts. This study will be broken into small, doable weekly segments. The lessons and a calendar are provided. We have a rotation of ladies that lead the weekly discussion. For those who cannot attend in person, we also offer virtual meetings each week on Microsoft Teams.
