Spiritual Parenting |
All parents want children who are well behaved. But good behavior wasn't the focus of Jesus. He desires hearts shaped by active faith and love for God and others. How can parents facilitate this in their kids? This study empowers parents to be the primary nurturers of their children's faith. It also teaches them how to create an environment God can use to work in their children's lives. |

Jesus in Leviticus: |
Have you ever felt like there must be something missing between the pages of the Old and New Testaments? Do they often feel like two completely different stories? Come with us as we journey into the Biblical holidays of Leviticus 23 and discover the hidden images of Jesus you may have never seen before. You might find out what challah tastes like, feel the bitterness of slavery, hear the sound of the shofar, and maybe even small the sweetness of an etrog. |

Reconciling Faith |
How do we live out the Sunday message on Monday morning at work? Is there an interscetion between what we confess and how we live in the workplace? There is. The primary focus of this class will be living out our faith in the workplace and making decisions that are consistent with a biblical worldview. We will discuss real life ethical dilemmas and learn from each other. We will spend some time introducing various ethical systems and see how they can be used to make decisions in business. |
