Thinking Biblically About Modern Issues with Kyle Kaufman.
Feeling overwhelmed by secular ideas? Unsure how to engage in constructive discussions about them? This 9-week course is designed to help Christians navigate five significant issues in today’s society: social justice, the sanctity of life, sexuality and gender, socialism, and politics. Drawing on resources from Think Biblically and authors such as Voddie Baucham, Michael Spencer, and Christopher Yuan, participants will learn how to approach these topics from a biblical perspective. Course includes: Short videos; Live instruction; and Guided discussions. All resources will be provided; there is no cost to participate in the course.
Essentials of Apologetics with Ries van den Heuvel.
This 10-week video series (by Sean McDowell, PhD) will help believers address the following topics/questions: Is faith blind? Does truth matter? What is the soul? Are miracles possible? What is intelligent design? Is there evidence for Jesus’ resurrection? Is the Bible trustworthy? If God is good, why is there evil? How do we answer people’s biggest questions? How should I talk with and engage with a skeptic/unbeliever? There is no cost for this study!
A Small Book about Why We Hide: How Jesus Rescues Us from Insecurity, Regret, Failure, and Shame with Fritz Good
This study is based on this book by Ed Welch. As humans, we are prone to insecurities, fear of failure, and regrets which we try to hide and cover up, resulting in isolation from both those around us and God. In this book, Ed Welch shows us how God speaks with gentleness, depth, and hope that will lead us out of hiding and to live more openly, authentic, and regret-free. Through a closer examination of Scripture, we can be assured God will meet us in the insecurities of life. We can find true security in his love and live freely and honestly with others. The cost of the book is $14.
Christianity in America w/Joel Davenport & Stephen Schultze
Using videos by Dr. Stephen J. Nichols (Ligonier.org) and in-class discussion, we will survey the history of Christianity in America so that we might better know our past and steer a course for the future. The past can help us face the challenges of the present, warning us of the costs of cultural accommodation, but also helping us look back to the cross of Jesus Christ, that we might faithfully proclaim the gospel in the future. No purchase needed. There is no cost to be a part of this class.
Coffee Chats (Women Only: College Age on Up!), with Lynette Good & the Sweet Aroma team (formerly Alabaster Jar Indy)
This is a wonderful serving, growing, and learning outreach opportunity! Our Sweet Aroma team will provide the training, the resources, the computers (for texting), the fellowship, the prayer support (and more!), but we need women willing to engage by texting vulnerable and “at risk” women. Would you be willing to be a voice of truth and encouragement, using the provided computers, to text and offer hope on Sunday nights? There is no cost to be involved in this outreach.
