Spiritual Growth: Real Change for Real Sinners
With Ryan McKinney
Sundays, 9:30 a.m. to 10:45 a.m.
Most of us know that as followers of Jesus we should be growing in our faith and spiritual life, but often times we struggle to feel like we are actually growing, or we feel that we don't even know how to grow. The basic point of this class is that change is a matter of going deeper. Some believers think that growth happens through outward improvement, intellectual addition, or felt experience, and all three of those are present in our spiritual development. Bur real growth happens when we deepen ourselves in Christ, so join us each week in this class as we seek to deepen ourselves in Christ and grow in Him. The textbook, Deeper, by Dane Ortlund, will be available at the first class session on September 29.

Old Testament Survey
With Dave Brown
Sundays, 9:30 a.m. to 10:45 a.m.
Is the Old Testament a confusing collection that seems mostly irrelevant today? This class lays a foundation for understanding the Bible by introducing the biblical covenants and God's kingdom. You'll learn the unifying themes of the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings that make up the Old Testament. You'll also gain an understanding of the historical and cultural background, the geographical and political settings, the issues addressed, and the major contributions and modern relevance of each book to the development and growth of God's people. The textbook, Old Testament Survey, by House and Mitchell, will be available after church in the Prairie High School commons or in the church office in September.
