First Quarter 2024 Sunday Morning Auditorium Class
Class Teacher is Tim Smelser.
Class Title is "The Gospel According to Luke".
Link: Sunday Morning Bible Study Stream
Luke’s account of the life of Christ is volume one of a 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.

In James 4:7 - 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you

- Acknowledge we are in a battle, and we have a choice to fight
- Identifying Satan and the devices he uses today in the spiritual battle for our souls.
- Develop a plan to overcome Satan’s temptations which will cause him to flee.
- Self-Examination and The True Standard

Class Title is "Hebrews - The Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith"
Link: Wednesday Evening Bible Study Stream
There are many things in this life that serve to discourage the child of God: temptation, social opposition and rejection, the weariness of trying to do what is right when so many others want to do what is wrong. The list goes on and on. The book of Hebrews, first and foremost, was written to encourage those who were discouraged (13:22). The writer of Hebrews does this by getting his readers to look to Jesus (2:9; 3:1; 12:2, 12:3). Join us this quarter as we look to Jesus in the pages of the Hebrew letter and seek the encouragement offered there.
