The Humanity of Christ

Ryan Lowery

Hebrews 2:6-18

The author of Hebrews addresses questions of both Hebraic and Hellenistic Jews as to who exactly Jesus is. He argues that Jesus is both God and man, which made it possible for him to die for us, and also means that he understands our human experience. Because of the great value Jesus places on us, we can live without fear of death, knowing that we are loved, valued, and important.

The Bible and Prophecy

Jim Leffel

Hebrews 2:6-18

At first glance, Jesus' claims about himself are audacious, claiming to be able to forgive sins, raise from the dead, and be the only true path to God. But his claims are backed up by the unique, specific prophecies that predated his arrival on earth that he fulfilled. Through these prophecies and their fulfillment in Jesus, we see God is not silent and is, in fact, pursuing us to have a relationship.

Jesus a New and Better High Priest

Ryan Lowery

Hebrews 7:23-25

The author of Hebrews begins to demonstrate that the new covenant is superior to the old covenant, and has made it obsolete. In these chapters, he outlines how Jesus is a new and better High Priest, one who is forever and intercedes not only for the Jewish people, but for all who would believe in him.

The Resurrection

Ryan Lowery

John 20:1-10

The resurrection is crucial to our faith in Jesus Christ. If Jesus wasn't resurrected, the New Testament authors lied and Jesus' death has no meaning. However if Jesus did raise from the dead, we can be assured that: the supernatural is real, there is an afterlife, Jesus' teachings are from God, and Jesus' death did pay for our sins. A review of the historical evidence including eyewitness accounts and extra-Biblical historical sources is included. Alternate explanations are explored and dismissed.

Trinity Basics for Spiritual Conversations

Dave Schutter

John 3:16

The reality of the Trinity is an important truth both to support our discipleship and our evangelism. As we see Scripture's witness to God as the Trinity, we mature in our faith and grow in our confidence, which in turn helps our evangelistic conversations improve. Through studying the Trinity in Scripture, this doctrinal truth can become a truth that is both relational and relevant for us. This workshop helps us extract key truths about the Trinity from Scripture and consider how to thoughtful converse about this topic with non-Christians.

We can discover him through the eyes of the authors. We can also discover how he interacts with people and creates the space they need to enter into a love relationship with him. As we follow and try to live like Christ, we will get to know him more deeply.
