Adult Lesson – Page 8 – The Surly Curmudgeon

The relationship between genetically determined gender and individual gender perception and expression consumes a large proportion of thought and conversation in today’s society. Almost everyone has strongly held beliefs on the subject – often lacking firm foundation in fact. Most people’s thoughts and beliefs on the subject are instead driven by gut emotion rather than logical thought. Without the anchor of God’s Word, there is nowhere to turn for reliable information and direction concerning this divisive issue.

In the last two sessions of our Christian Life Foundations Course, we looked at the overall structure and content of the New Testament gospel accounts, acts of the apostles, letters, and the Revelation of Jesus Christ. We then shared our favorite New Testament passages.

In these two sessions we looked at the overall structure and highlights of the Old Testament Law, Prophets, and Writings. We each shared our favorite Old Testament passages.

In this session, we consider ways that we as individuals and as a body of believers can show and share the love of Jesus in our community among believers and unbelievers alike.

In this session we discuss Christian growth within the global Church through fellowship, group Bible Study, corporate prayer, group worship, community service together, financial support, encouragement, two-by-two evangelism, etc.

In this session, we examine the person of God’s Spirit and His works in the hearts and lives of the believers whom He indwells. In particular, we look at the miraculous works of the Spirit, and His spiritual gifts to those re-born in Him.

In this second part of our Christian Life Foundations Course, we examine the so-called “spiritual disciplines” by which we grow in our knowledge of God through His Word, and draw closer to Him in our daily lives.

The Bible – is the basis for all aspects of Christian life. We believe that the Bible is God’s very Word – spoken by Him over thousands of years through the scribes and prophets God chose and guided to write by His Spirit. From God’s Word, we derive several foundational beliefs to which all Christians must adhere.
