Psalms

A 5 week class with Lee Campbell

"The New Testament is in the Old Testament concealed. The Old Testament is in the New Testament revealed.” Nowhere is this more evident than in the Psalms. Psalms are God's prayer book - teaching us how to pray honestly & loyally. Psalms are poetry - moving because poetry sneaks around our reluctance to feel strong emotions. The Psalms are honest - not always nice or happy, but they tell the truth about doubt during painful times. Come hear God speak through the Hebrew poets in this enlightening, stirring and challenging study.

The ways of knowing: Experiencing god in the breadth of human experience

A 5 week class with Jim Leffel

Knowing God is no mere intellectual exercise. The Bible teaches that we can deepen our understanding of and relationship with God holistically, in the broad range of human experience. This 5 week class will explore and practically apply Moses' instruction to God's people in Deuteronomy 6, to cultivate the knowledge of God with their head (intellectual), heart (inner-personal), hands (practical), and home (inter-personal).

pentateuch iv: Deuteronomy

A 5 week class with Pat Reeder

Deuteronomy is a speech from Moses to Israel as the nation prepares to enter the Promised Land. Deuteronomy is a perfect conclusion to the Pentateuch because it contains detailed summaries of the Law and Israel's history. Furthermore, Moses pleas with Israel to remember God's saving power in Egypt and to heed His word.

leadership principles in the pastoral epistles

If that is your desire, God can use this class to strengthen you and others through you. There is no exam; but will be weekly reading assignments with a written short reflection.
