Questions Jesus Asked

This course will address six key questions from Jesus that demand an answer and lead us into deeper maturity. In this course, we'll examine: Who Jesus is, why we follow Him, if we trust Him, if we'll submit to Him, what happens if we fail Him, and why we're tempted to walk away from Jesus' hard truths. Each class will reveal something about us, something about Jesus, and something about the heart of God.

Pursuing Christ: Growing Deeper Through Spiritual Disciplines

This six-week class is designed to help us deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ by intentionally practicing spiritual disciplines that draw us closer to Him. Together, we will explore prayer, worship, serving, stewardship, fasting, and learning as practical ways to pursue Christ and grow in our faith. The goal is not simply to learn about spiritual disciplines, but to develop a deeper desire for Christ and a more intentional relationship with Him. By the end of the class, participants will have practical tools and a clearer understanding of how to pursue Jesus in greater ways and move from a casual faith toward a more serious, committed walk with Christ.

The Ten Commandments

The Ten Commandments provide a beautiful summary of God’s law which was given for the benefit of God’s people. They are meant to guide us, to restrain us, and ultimately to lead us to Christ. They are as fresh and powerful today as they have ever been. Do you long to hear from God? To know what his heart is for your life? These commands taken together have the power to lift us out of the mire and set our feet on solid ground. As a result, we can exult with the psalmist "How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through your precepts I gain understanding." Psalm 119:103-104a
