  • THE SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE: Distinctives of the holy spirit    TH102

    Sunday Mornings @ 9:30 AM in the Cove Classroom starting on 9/8/19

    Teacher:  John Dorrough

    Jesus entire earthly ministry was conducted under the empowerment of His Father’s Spirit.  So central was this to Jesus that His core instruction for His followers prior to His asencion into heaven was for them to seek the infilling and empowerment of His Spirit which was available to all believers.  This class will dive into who the Holy Spirit is and how they can expect Him to operate in their lives.  Topics will include what it means to be led by the Spirit, the anointing of the Spirit and the role of the Spirit in enabling us with spiritual gifts.   Class will be lecture-based.

  • explaining evil: defending the faith             TH201

    Wednesday Evenings @ 7:00 PM in the Sanctuary starting on 9/11/19

    Teacher:  Pastor Lane Douglas

    Perhaps one of the biggest challenges to Christianity is the question, “How can an all-loving God allow evil in the world?”  The question often is used as both an excuse as to why someone won’t explore Christianity or even as a reason as to why someone is leaving the faith.  In this course, we’ll explore the topic head on.  Scriptural foundation will be given to help understand why God allows evil within His creation to include evil brought on through others as well as that which simply “appears” like sickness or disease.  Classes will be lecture-based.
