Epiphany Moments

“Epiphany” comes from a Greek word that means “reveal.” When someone has an epiphany, it’s not that reality changed. The way they see that reality is what changed, for a deeper truth has been revealed. An epiphany is an “a-ha!” moment causing us to look at things very differently.

In the Church Year, Epiphany is the season where we see Jesus begin his ministry, revealing the reason the Son of God came to earth. In this season we will come to understand that when we have Jesus in our lives, it does not always mean our reality drastically changes. It simply means that we see reality differently (and better). Jesus always provides an abundance of epiphany moments.

Sundays in Bible Class

The Book of II Peter

We are looking forward to a new adult Sunday morning class on the short book of II Peter, beginning on September 8. As we studied I Peter last year, we heard Peter encourage us to be faithful as we suffer for our faith in this world. In that book, however, most of the suffering and persecution was coming from outside the church.

In II Peter, we learn of evil influences that are in the church, which leads Peter to encourage us to daily put our faith into practice, taking our stand against false teaching, with the Last Day growing ever closer.

Please join us as we discuss this important New Testament letter!

Wednesdays in Bible Class

The Book of Mark

On Wednesday, September 11, at 6:30pm, we began an in-depth study of the gospel of Mark. The shortest of the four gospels, Mark is full of action, as the inspired author takes us from one account of Jesus' life to the next.

If you've never joined one of our Bible classes before, this would be a great one for you because the best place to begin Bible study is with the gospel. Invite a friend along, too. This class is for everyone, and we pray that you'll join us.

It's never too late to jump into our Bible classes!

Tough Topic Tuesday

A special monthly Bible class devoted to some of the topics that we face in society today. Some of the topics include mental health, human sexuality, race and politics, roles of men and women, social media and online issues, etc. These classes will give us the chance to dive into these difficult topics and discuss them from a Biblical point of view.

For our first Tough Topic Tuesday, we looked at a few mental health topics like anxiety and depression. We’ve also covered human sexuality.

We have a lot of flexibility with this class. We are using the book, Taboo, by Mike Novotny, as a guide for this class. He covers many of the topics that we'll be talking about.

You may wonder if your older children could come to this class. It's important to talk about these issues with our kids, so you are welcome to bring them along. You'll always know the topics in advance of each class, so that can help you decide if your kids can handle it or not.
