Adult Education
Spring 2007 classes begin Sunday, April 15 and end May 13.
Five classes are being offered:
ANGER IS A CHOICE
“You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not murder, and anyone who murders
is subject to judgment.’ But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject
to judgment.” Anger is everybody’s problem — but it need not be yours! It becomes a problem when
we fail to realize where it comes from, how it shows — or doesn’t show — and what we can do about it.
Either it will control us or we will control it — because anger is a choice.
BACK TO THE BASICS: THE BOOK OF COLOSSIANS
Paul had taught the Christians in the church at Colosse that salvation was a free gift. When he
was gone, the Christians in that church were influenced by false teachings: intellectualism as
the way to achieve higher levels of spiritual understanding. Paul reminds us in this letter that
Christ is preeminent in creation, in salvation, and in Christian living. Colossians explains how
a Christian should reflect the influence of Christ at home, at work and in the church.
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS: COMMANDMENT OR COMMITMENT
Discover how God uses the ten commandments to remove confusion about right and wrong in today’s
relativistic culture, to protect you from the consequences of your own moral weakness, and to
guide your thinking and actions in every situation. These simple guidelines for living are a
tender love letter from a wise, all-knowing Father. They allow you to discover your own destiny
as a child of God.
SPIRITUAL STORYTELLING
Throughout the Bible, we are told to remember, but sometimes we miss the big picture when we focus
on the individual, isolated events of our lives. When we do that, life seems random and confusing.
It can seem that God doesn’t even care about our lives — or what lies ahead for us. The spiritual
discipline of prayerfully piecing together the events of our lives helps us to see God’s plan for
the whole of our lives and can bring healing and closure to painful memories.. Join us to recapture
God’s presence in your life through your personal faithbook.
SERMON FOLLOW-UP SERIES
Allow worship to extend for another hour, by using our Christian Education hour to apply the learnings
of this week’s sermon. Join Dr. Dixon and others in allowing the Holy Spirit to illuminate the sermon
text through questions and discussion.
