Operation WorldView. February through June 2008. This video series, produced by Mission ONE and taught by Bob Schindler and Werner Mischke, is an introduction to world missions and prepares students to hear the “truths about God’s global purpose” for His wondrous and vast creation. It asks the important question: What is your destiny in God’s story?—a story that transcends nations. This 8-to-16-week class will enlighten and encourage Christians to transform their hearts and seek their position in the great commission. Roland Chase will lead the study. For more information about this study contact Roland or go to www.mission1.org for a brief video preview.

Study in Acts – The Gospel in Action. September 2007 through May 2008. This class has previously studied the books of Romans and Corinthians – books that teach the great doctrines of God’s righteousness, man’s sin, Christ’s atonement, and salvation through faith. This year our study of the Book of Acts will look at the day-by-day practice of these doctrines by the first Christians. The Book of Acts was written to provide a history of the early church and emphasizes the importance of the day of Pentecost and being empowered to be effective witnesses for Jesus Christ. We will examine how the power of the Holy Spirit grew the early Christian church from a small band of frightened disciples to a mighty force within the Roman Empire. This study will meet every Sunday in the Hometime room and will be led by Dick Falb and Don Estes.

Exploring Our Hope and Our Heritage. September 2007 through May 2008. (Now meeting in the church dining room.) Taught by Dr. Maxwell in lecture and discussion format, this adult class will explore the richness of the Reformed Faith for us today. We will look at our history, including the witness of some whose names are etched upon our stained glass windows. Secondly, we will consider the content of the Reformed Faith as provided in the Heidelberg Catechism, a devotional guide in question-and-answer format that is deeply rooted in Scripture. Thirdly, we will discover the distinctives of worship in the Reformed tradition, considering how and why we worship our great and gracious God as we do.

Life and Ministry of Jesus Christ. September 2007 through May2008. (Now meeting in the Lynch room, upstairs in the main building) Bill Aseltine will lead discussion and meditation on the life, ministry and teaching of Jesus Christ as revealed in the four Gospels. Lessons will be presented in chronological order using a "harmony of the gospels' guide and discussion questions.

Jeremiah: The Weeping Prophet. September 2007 through May2008. Jeremiah has more words than any other book in the Bible—words written long ago in a time and place much different from our own. It can be confusing to read and difficult to make sense of this prophet and apply these words to our own lives. Rev. Doug Forsberg will lead students through this book, seeking to understand how God used this prophet to announce His judgment on Judah and the nations, and how not judgment, but mercy is the final word that God gives through Jeremiah. Topics include the nature of true prophesy, the historical situation in which Jeremiah proclaimed God's word, the poetry and literary style, the original Hebrew text, and our interaction with God's Word. Come here God speak through Jeremiah to our hearts and minds.
