Invitation to Romans

Roger Fortney, Facilitator

Exploring how people have interpreted Romans through the ages is a good lens to view the history of Christianity itself. Compare what Paul writes in Romans to what theologians like Augustine, Luther and Calvin say in trying to understand Paul in their time. At the end of this study you will have a more informed commitment to Paul's radical vision of God's relationship to both Christians and Jews and to their relationship to each other, thanks to the "love of God in Christ Jesus."

Disciple IV

Benita Belsley, Facilitator

Disciple IV, Under the Tree of Life concentrates on The Writings (Old Testament books not in the Torah or the Prophets), the Gospel of John, and Revelation). Emphasis on the Psalms as Israel's hymnbook and prayer book leads naturally to an emphasis on worship in the study. Present throughout the entire study is the sense of living toward completion - toward the climax of the message and the promise, extravagantly pictured in the Revelation. Prerequisite: Disciple I

7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.

Old Testament 101

Dick Mussett, Facilitator 

Come let us romp together in a short run through the Old Testament.  Who were those people that endured in a world that we can hardly imagine? No cell phones, no TV's, no antibiotics, Wild West Law beyond the Pecos. And then, suddenly God found them and made them, and us, His own.  Let's uncover this mystery together.
