Numerous contemporary writers are exploring the challenges of communicating Christ in our post modern world. Our interlude class will be discussing a hand full of the many questions nonbelievers are asking about God and religion, and why answering them is an important step in turning doubt into faith. How do we speak their language while sharing the gospel to effectively represent Christ and be a missional church? What dialogue is effective with an educated, technical society or with those concerned about social justice and a mind set on humanitarian aid and service? We'll be thinking about our personal answers to these questions as they relate to our faith, and how we might communicate it to others. Please bring a journal or notebook to record your thoughts on the topics being considered.

In this class we will be looking to not only get more familiar with the content of First, Second and Third John, but also come to know the apostle John in a more intimate way, maybe even as a friend. John is probably elderly and has out lived all the other apostles by the time these letters are written. Here is a man who was called a Son of Thunder, and yet addresses his readers as "dear children"....he sought for he and his brother to sit at the right and left hand in the Kingdom, and yet in later years writes eloquently of love for your Christian brothers....he wanted to call down fire from heaven on those who didn't welcome Jesus, and yet was known as the apostle whom Jesus loved. Wow, let's all get to know this complex apostle who was in the inner circle of Jesus' three closest friends, and come to know our Lord on a much more personal level as we study and discuss together topics including who Jesus is....who the Antichrist is....how to test spirits....and how to walk in the light.

The Bible is well-known for its wisdom on spiritual concerns and righteous living. But did you know it can also guide you in matters of dating, courtship, and marriage? "Based on what God knows about us," says Tommy Nelson, "He has provided an instruction manual in the Song of Solomon with eight very enlightening, explicit, and highly practical chapters on the topics of love, sex, and intimacy." Wise and engaging, this video-based study digs deep into the Song of Solomon and teaches us about the deep emotional, sexual, and spiritual satisfaction that God created to be enjoyed in marriage.
