The Book of Acts

Third Quarter 2024 Sunday Morning Auditorium Class
Class Teacher is Tim Smelser.
Class Title is "The Book of Acts".

Link: Sunday Morning Bible Study Stream

The Book of Acts is volume two of Luke's two volume set. In these two books (Luke and Acts) Luke sets forth, in a well-organized, systematic way, how Jesus Christ fulfilled God’s purpose and how He continues to fulfill that purpose in and through His people. Our goal for this study is not just to understand the story of Jesus and His people; our goal is to become that story today.

Following the Kings

Third Quarter 2024 Sunday Morning in Adult Classroom
Class Teachers is Lewis Wheaton
Class Title is "Following the Kings: How God’s People should be Regardless of the Earthly King".

Classically when we study the Kings, we focus on the kings themselves and their various levels of success and failure. However, less frequently we consider the people under the kings and how they influenced and followed leadership. During the quarter, we will focus on what the Bible tells us about this era in relation to 3 core questions:

  1. How did the people react to God’s instructions before the era of the kings?
  2. What struggles did the people have as the kings led the people, and what caused this?
  3. What lessons could the people have learned, and what lessons can we learn from these people?
