- Knowing and Enjoying the Bible – Reading It, Understanding It, Loving It
Track: Foundations
Teaching Team: Stephen Tom, Warden Cai
It is rightly said that the Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God, but what does this mean to you? Do you ever find the Bible difficult to understand? Would you like to know the Bible better? How do we move from what the Bible says to applying it in real life?
In this class, we hope to instill a desire and love for Scripture, in part through reading and understanding it better. We want to instill a joy and delight in reading Scripture—It can be contagious!
Topics include:
• Learning to understand the Bible better.
• Getting excited about reading the Bible.
• Being familiar with the overall shape and themes of Scripture.
• Doing personal and family devotions (especially with your kids).
• Applying in real life what the Bible teaches me to do.
• Reading the Bible to make sense of everyday events.
By the way, don’t worry if you think some material might be too basic (or on the other hand, too complicated!), we will adjust the content according to the makeup of the class. Finally, do make sure to bring all your questions on the Bible—we will do our best to address them!
The Church and the Marks of Healthiness
Track: Topical
Teaching Team: Pastor Allan, Luke Kwong, Jesse Tam, and Raniel Chan (teaching assistant)
All Christians should understand the doctrine of the Church because it was created by God for them. This class will discuss the doctrine of the Church, the marks that make it healthy, and ways we can worship and grow as the body of Christ.
Joshua, Judges, and Ruth
Track: Bible
Teaching team: Nathaniel Chow, David Hwang, Brian Tse, Jamie Lau (teaching assistant)
Join us as we study the books of Joshua, Judges, and Ruth, which provide a vivid account of the early years of the nation of Israel, from the time of their re-entry into the Promised Land after their exodus from Egypt and 40 years of wilderness wanderings, to the establishment of the monarchy under King Saul. More than just presenting a historical account of events that happened over 3000 years ago, however, these books continue to speak to us today, providing stirring reminders of the faithfulness of God to His people even in the face of their unfaithfulness, and calling us and the generations that follow us to walk in faith-fueled obedience to Him.
“…and you know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one word has failed of all the good things that the LORD your God promised concerning you.” (Joshua 23:14b)
Dates: This course will run for both Fall 2024 and Winter 2025 terms (October 6, 2024, through February 23, 2025).
