KirkWood Adult Christian Education Curriculum

 

 

KirkWood Adult Sunday Morning Classes

Coming in September!

 

The KW adult Sunday classes restart on September 7 and will once again make your choices difficult this fall. Four great choices are available, each one an opportunity to receive some truth, think, laugh, share your thoughts, and grow with friends.

 

The Unbinding Your Heart class asks for a sustained 7-week commitment of participation. The other classes are open for drop-in as well as sustained participation.

 

“Unbinding Your Heart: Forty Days of Prayer and Faith Sharing”7 weeks – led by Bruce Knight + Michael Condrey

v    What does honest, faithful faith-sharing look like in the 21st Century?

v    Do some of the stereotypes turn you off?

v    What are the ingredients that have enabled some average Jane and Joe churches to find real life and extend real life to those around them?

v    Come share in a study that the KirkWood Session has recently completed.

This class will be followed by:

“The Kingdom Equation: A Fresh Look at the Parables of Jesus”9 lessons -- led by Dick Knowles

v    What was this “kingdom” stuff in Jesus’ parables all about?

 

 

“God Views: See Clearly the One Who Loves You Most” – dramatic comedy video with discussion – ~12 weeks – led by Susan and Rich Egyud

v    This study helps us examine our views of God.

v    When we hold some of our views up in the light they can look pretty hilarious.

v    This study mixes scripture, reflection, humorous dramatic video, and discussion to help us grow beyond some mistaken views of God, so see the Father of Jesus as the one who loves you most.

 

“Celebration of Discipline: The Path to Spiritual Growth” – multi-media class on the classic spiritual disciplines – 15 weeks – led by Charlie Reece & Jim Mershon

v    When we taste and see that the Lord is good, a hunger arises that wants to deepen and widen our spiritual life in Him. This hunger runs smack into our weakness, tendency to distraction, and inability to do much to really change how we find ourselves.

v    The long and wide testimony of those who have gone before us is that, as with an athlete training for an event, directed discipline is an essential part of reaching the goal.

v    This class will introduce and sample the classic Christian spiritual disciplines.

v    If God is calling you to get serious and put down some roots, perhaps you can start here.

 

1 Corinthians – focused Bible study ongoing -- led by Jim Birch

v    This class continues to walk carefully and slowly through one book of the Bible at a time, carefully considering the background setting and the also implications from the text for us today.
