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.
