Week 3: Creation of God - How Did Life Begin?
Week 1-6: ALL-IN-ONE
Engaging with People on the Topic of God's Truth
Today, Christians often struggle to share the Gospel, particularly in our deeply divided society where many people hold negative views about religion. Together, we will explore the following questions.
· How do the unchurched reason about
the world around them? Where do they find Truth?
· How do we engage effectively with people
who are very different from us; people who are opposed to what we believe?
· What principles and life skills are
helpful in our pursuit of sharing the Gospel and the truths of God's Word?
This study will include in-class exercises that will help participants apply the principles and life skills presented. Taught by Leo Modica.

This class will equip you to become more confident in understanding and living out God’s Word faithfully. Join us for a 7-week hands-on class that will equip you to know how to read, interpret and apply the Bible for yourself.

Living Counter-Culturally
Whether we realize it, we are molded by the world in which we live. Because we are inundated by secular news and culture, we subconsciously begin to live according to the ways of the world rather than God's ways. Jesus calls believers to be in the world but not of the world (1 John 2). Join us as we explore how to live counter-culturally according to principles of God's kingdom. This class contains 4 sessions. Each session is 1-1/2 hours in length with discussion, or 1 hour without discussion. Discussion questions provided.
