Christian Education
Adult Class: The Story of Salvation: Understanding the Bible
The Bible stands at the center of our Christian faith--telling us what we know about God and God’s promises, but for many Christians the Bible is a very confusing book. In fact, it’s not just a confusing book, but a confusing library of books. Those who read the Bible on their own often get confused by the Bible’s chronology or overwhelmed by details they don’t understand. Meanwhile, those who only hear the snippets of scripture we read in worship often have little sense of how those snippets fit in to the larger picture that is the story of the Bible. Some may even wonder if there is a larger picture. There is. And when we really look at it, it is amazing how the various pieces fall together and give us a picture of immense value: the Story of Salvation. While the Bible can be read in a variety of different ways, while the details can really flesh out specific points of Christian belief and livings, it is also vital to understand the witness of the Bible as a whole: the story of God’s actions to save his people, culminating in the death and resurrection of Jesus, the Christ.
Join us throughout the 2023-24 school year, as our Adult Class undertakes an overview of the Bible (both the Old and New Testaments), focusing not only on what’s in the Bible and its major stories, but also on how it all fits together to tell the story of God’s ultimate act of salvation and what this means for us in our lives. This class is intended as an introductory class, but with enough details and nuances to enrich the biblical understanding of even the most veteran of Bible study participants. If you’ve ever found yourself confused by the Bible or if you ever just wanted to understand how the Old and New Testaments work together, then this class is for you. No prior experience required and all prior experience welcomed. The Adult Class meets Sunday mornings at 8:45 am. We will begin this new class on Sunday September 10th. All are welcome. Please join us for this fascinating exploration of our scriptures.
