Adult Christian Education Winter 2010 We begin our new year of Adult Education with an introduction to the new classes. This will be Sunday, January 10, at 9 a.m., in Charter Hall. Each facilitator will give a brief overview of their respective class and sign-up sheets will be available. Once again, we will offer a Sunday morning class designed to bring us together as a congregation for a special time of sharing. It will be great to engage in conversation with old and new friends about one of the mysteries of our faith – Heaven. Please see more about the class description below. Sunday Morning Schedule
9
a.m. Education classes begin Sunday Morning Studies
Is This Heaven? The sermon series at Shepherd of the Hills (January 17-Feburary 14) will focus on images of heaven. Concurrently, a Sunday School class and sermon discussion groups will meet in Charter Hall at 9 a.m. Invite others and join us as we seek to discover answers to such questions as, Is there a heaven?, What does heaven look like?, and How does one get to heaven? Pastor Holmes will reference the book Heaven by Randy Alcorn.
God made known both Himself and His will as He spoke to the prophets and through them to the people of God. It is through their teaching that God brought the nation of Israel and individuals back to Himself. The words of the prophets were not written down just for Israel but for all those who choose to be counted among the people of God. Scripture speaks just as clearly today as it did in the past. You’re welcome to join this ongoing Bible study at any time as it travels through the Minor Prophets.
“Respectable Sins: Are There Any?” Have we become so preoccupied with the major sins of our society that we overlook our own more subtle sins? Perhaps we have developed a sliding scale of measurement. Sins listed at one end we are sure don't affect us. Those at the other end? Using an insightful book by best-selling author Jerry Bridges, the class will determine if, indeed, we do have a list of “acceptable” sins. Then we will explore how to draw on God's enabling power to confront and overcome our own list of sins.
