Lasting change is harder than we think, even when we know the stakes are high.
The good news is God has revealed his blueprint to transform us from self-worshipping, self-sufficient, self-centered, self-driven persons to Christ-worshipping, Christ-sufficient, Christ-centered, and Christ-pursuing persons in Christ’s Body

How to read the Bible in Context?
What do churches that preach a form of prosperity gospel, moralism, or legalism hasve in common? It’s not that these churches don’t believe in the bible. According to leading experts, including Mark Dever, author of Nine Marks of a Healthy Church, they all lack a solid grounding in Biblical Theology
Spiritually healthy churches are grounded in the Scriptures and teach their people how to read properly Especially when people are reading a long passage, we need to teach them how to interpret, understand, and apply God’s word to their lives.
In our first two introductory sessions on Biblical Theology, we will discuss how to read the Bible in context by giving negative and positive examples of handling the text.

Living in Light of Christ’s Second Coming
The Book of Revelation is recognized as apocalyptic literature, narrating a prophet’s symbolic visions that revealed God’s heavenly perspective on human history and current events so that the present could be viewed in light of history’s final outcome.
It was written as a circular letter to the seven churches in Asia Minor, which were under heavy persecution, to challenge them, and Christians of every generation, to faithfulness until Jesus returns. The letter reveals history’s pattern and that every human kingdom eventually becomes Babylon and must be resisted in the power of the slain Lamb. God’s promise is that Jesus will return one day to remove evil from this world and make all things new.
The classes will survey different interpretive approaches to the book; as well as highlight its relevance for Christian discipleship today.

Have you ever asked these questions or are troubled by similar questions?
- ls it wrong to have doubts about God or my faith?
- ls it wrong to ask for more evidence and more assurances?
- Is the Christian faith based on reason, evidence or spiritual experiences?
The classes will look at Biblical examples of people who had doubts and help us learn
- that doubt is not the same as unbelief;
- how we can deal with doubts: and
that assurance of salvation lies in the strength of our God, not in the strength of our faith.

To Know Jesus is to Know the God of Love
The epistles of John reflect the language and style of the gospel of John. Writing in old age and serving as an overseer of house churches in Ephesus, John address a specific crisis. Apparently, some members have left the church and denied Jesus as Messiah (1 Jn 2:18-23; 4:1-3). They even stirred hostility among those who remained in the church. Thus, the letters provide a window to the challenges that John faced in those churches.
1 John serves as a prescription to the crisis, while 2 and 3 John focus on the particulars. Nonetheless, these letters were written to assure believers, who remained with the church that God is still with them. John does so by focusing on repeated themes about life, truth, and love in knowing Jesus Christ.
