The Book of Acts

Second Quarter 2023 Sunday Morning Auditorium Class
Class Teacher is Jeff Paschall.
Class Title is "The Book of Acts".

Link: Sunday Morning Bible Study Stream

We will be looking at a number of sermons found in Acts and identifying some things that we can employ in our evangelism efforts today. It will not be a verse-by-verse textual study of the entire book, but rather learning from the Apostles and early Christians on how we can be more effective at being salt and light. What do people see and hear in us? Are we spreading the good news to those we come in contact with? Are there areas of improvement for each of us?

The Gospel According to Matthew

First Quarter 2023 Sunday Morning Auditorium Class
Class Teacher is Tim Smelser.
Class Title is "The Gospel According to Matthew".

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.

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.
