A STUDY IN THE BOOK OF 1 Corinthians

Acts 18 introduces us to the port metropolis of Corinth, the chief city of Greece at the time, where Paul was commanded by Christ (1 Cor 18:9-11) to establish and nurture a church. After a year and a half of teaching them about Jesus the Messiah, Paul left to start other churches.  When he heard of the division and dysfunction that swept through the church in his absence, Paul wrote them to rebuke and correct the fundamental distortions that the Corinthians had allowed to enter into the church. In combating their source of factionalism and false wisdom, Paul reminded them that the “Word of the Cross” (1 Cor 1:18) is the basis for the church’s unity, holiness, freedom, worship, and hope.

Future Home: 1 Thessalonians

In Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians, he commends them for their steadfast faith, hopeful anticipation of Christ's return, and love for one another. This class picks up where the previous class left off in Chapter 4. The focus will be on the coming of the Lord, the steps necessary to prepare for His return, and the practical applications given to the church in the meantime. This class will continue into 2 Thessalonians.

Jesus & Gender

We live in an increasingly confused time in which basic concepts of humanity, including gender, are openly questioned. Jesus Christ the perfect standard of humanity, including masculinity. In this BFL class, we will study Jesus on gender: his attributes, roles, and actions. In this class we will discuss what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and our task of making disciples who make disciples. We will review a simple reproducible system that makes this God given responsibility possible.
