First Quarter 2023 Sunday Morning Auditorium Class
Class Teacher is Tim Smelser.
Class Title is "The Gospel According to Matthew".
Link: Sunday Morning Bible Study Stream
Matthew’s account of the life of Christ is often referred to as the “Gospel of the Kingdom.” While using much Old Testament prophecy to show that Jesus was indeed the Son of David, the Messiah sent into the world, Matthew also puts a great deal of emphasis on discipleship and kingdom citizenship. Join us this quarter as we study the life of Christ through the eyes of one who walked and worked with Jesus during His earthly ministry, and who challenges us to live lives worthy of the kingdom.

Class Title is "The Apostles - How Became Fishers of Men".
In this class, we will consider the lives and relationships of the men Jesus chose to labor for God’s work, the apostles. We will consider how these men grew in faith, what challenges they needed to overcome, and what we can learn from them to be better servants of God. This class will mostly focus on the lives and work of the initial 12 apostles, with a few references to the later apostle Paul as we go along.

We will see his love for God, his love for the truth, his love for his brethren, and his love for the lost. In his example of Christ, we will see his example for us.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Sunday Morning Auditorium Class
Class Teacher is Tim Smelser.
Class Title is "The Book of Revelation".
Link: Sunday Morning Bible Study Stream
The book of Revelation has suffered more abuse and misuse than perhaps any other book of the New Testament. It is either overlooked in study, because of the perception that it cannot be understood, or it serves as a playground for extremists and fanatics who have forced upon it strange and bizarre interpretations. We will approach this study from the viewpoint that it can be understood, and we will attempt to comprehend its symbolism and imagery by viewing the book through the eyes of its first century recipients.

Why is there pain, tragedies, and suffering in the world and why is this happening to me? My faith in God is shaken because I don’t understand. We often give short answers to answer these questions concerning the trials and problems that exist in our world today.
This class will attempt to deal with the tragedies and adversities of life and try to give more God given answers to the questions they provoke. The ultimate goal of the class is to find Biblical, and thus God-given, answers wherever they are provided. The goal of this class is to strengthen our faith in God which will help us endure the trials that face us today.

"A Study of Philippians: Shining as Lights in the World"
This class will be taught by Jeannie Balentine, Christine Smelser, Nikki Smelser, and Teri Wheaton in a classroom.
In the Ladies Class this quarter, we will be studying together through the book of Philippians. In this prison epistle, Paul talks about the attitude and character that should define a Christian - one of peace, joy, unity, and humility. Living out these attitudes is having the mind of Christ. This is a mind focused on glorifying God, serving one another, seeking spiritual things, and finding security in the Lord. This quarter, we'll seek to study more about these things and hopefully come away with the goal of thinking and living more like our Savior, bringing glory to our Father in all things.
