Truth Seekers: Developing Skills for Accurate Bible Study (2 Tim 2:15)
Teacher - Bo Spires and Jesse Bridges
Room 2-2 a/b
Over 2,000 years ago, Paul warned Timothy that in the last days people would be acquiring teachers who would "tickle their ears" and teach matters "according to their own desires." In other words, the Bible would be used in such a way to make it say what they want it to say, rather than the meaning God intends. In our present day, there is a dire need for believers to be equipped to "handle accurately the Word of truth" so God's message can be understood and communicated accurately. The course, Truth Seekers: Developing Skills for Accurate Bible Study (2 Tim 2:15), is designed to better equip believers for just that purpose. Topics such as authorial intent, grammatical context, word studies, and much more are addressed in this series. Today, the church of Jesus Christ is facing an onslaught of deceptive teachings, many of which compromise God's truth in order to condone the fluctuating desires of the culture. If you want to run counter to this trend and fortify your personal study of God's Word to stay true to His message, this course is for you.

New Man in Christ
Teacher - Scott McManigle
Room 2-1
“Christians all over the world are plagued by an “identity crisis” that has led to much confusion on “how” to live the Christian life. Most Christians think they must “do” in order to “be,” but God’s word teaches the exact opposite. That we “do” because of who we “are” in Christ. The purpose of this class is to help take us to deeper levels of faith and confidence in the fact that, who we are as a child of God, has been determined by the blood of Christ and the power of God and not by anything that we “do.”

Understanding the Spirit's Role in the Life of a Believer
Teachers - Tim Sanford, Ben Sanford, and Micah Doerksen
Room 2-2 a/b
A study of the Spirit of God with a particular focus on His ministry/function in the church age. The ministry of the Spirit of God is crucial to the believer's walk and maturity and the unbeliever's salvation. Accurate understanding is necessary if we are to respond to Him and be drawn along by Him, cooperating in what He desires to do in us and through us. Therefore, we want to learn foundational facts, but mere facts alone will not transform us. We must also yield to His leading in our lives as He does the actual work of transformation. Join us on this 12-week journey of exploring what life in the Spirit looks like.

What does it mean to be saved? How is salvation accomplished? Do we have the assurance of the permanency of our position in God’s family?

This class will discuss what the Bible says about salvation so we can have confidence of our standing with God and rightly disciple our family, friends, and fellow believers.
