The Gospel

Bryan Whittington| Room 111

Have you ever looked in the Bible for a clear description of “The Gospel?” We talk about it all the time, but what is it? What does it practically mean for our lives as Christians? And how do I share the gospel with others? There is great freedom and peace in the gospel; let’s explore it together!

Psalms: Prayers of the Heart

Jim Yoder | Room 109

There was a book published many decades ago whose first line was, “Life is difficult.” I laughed when I first read it, in part because it was like a dare to read on. Well, the Psalms were placed for us into God’s word for much the same purpose. They include examples of every experience of life lived out under a firm knowledge of God’s covenant grace and mercy. We have outbursts of joy, displays of anger, moments of unbelief, and fears that must be confronted. The Psalms are given as models for our life of prayer and praise, so we can say with the Psalmist: “Those who sowed with tears will reap with songs of joy” (126:6). We will explore some of them together.

Christ & Culture

Pastor Ben Burkholder | Room 112

How does a Christian live within the surrounding culture? How does the church seek to live into its calling in a secular world? We’ll be surveying the five prominent modes of engagement (drawing from H. Richard Niebuhr’s book) and looking at relevant Scripture passages to help us think robustly about our Christian life in the world.

College & Careers

Gary Laird | Room 110

Join us each week during the Sunday School hour for a time of fellowship, Bible study, and prayer. While our discussion topics vary from week to week, our central focus is always on how to faithfully live out God’s Word in today’s culture. So, whether you just graduated from high school or you just turned 29, this might be the place for you!
