The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe
Teacher: Ken Imfeld
“CS Lewis is certainly well known for his best-selling theological works, such as Mere Christianity. He is also well known for his works of fiction, particularly the “children’s books” The Chronicles of Narnia. I put “children’s books” in quotes simply because of the fact that Lewis himself saw them as something to be read and enjoyed by adults as well.
In this class we will take an in-depth look at perhaps his most popular single book of fiction, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. This “children’s book” does a wonderful job of bringing his theological thoughts into application, and of teaching us biblical truths in story form. Join us as we go “Into the Wardrobe” for a journey that will bring us all closer to God!”
Gentle & Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers
THIS CLASS IS NOW FULL
Teachers: Kim Barker & Lisa Combs
Cost: $10 for the book and the study guide
Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. These chapters take us into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.
40 Days in the Desert
Teacher: Mike Crowe
The gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke all provide a record of the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert. Following his baptism, the Spirit of God led Jesus into the desert where he spent 40 days being tempted by satan. During this time Jesus was sustained, not by bread, but by every word that came from the mouth of God. During those 40 days, Jesus was shaped and prepared for the three most important years of his life. It was this time in the desert that prepared him for the cross.
This class is designed to take us on a 40 day journey into our own desert experience. This six-week journey through scripture will help us experience the presence of God in a way that will clarify our vision of his Kingdom and shape us to fulfill our role in it. Twenty-five minutes of daily homework will be required for this class.
