Bible Class Registration - Spring Quarter 2010

* Denotes a new class this quarter.

Class Descriptions

Holy Spirit – There is much misunderstanding and superstition concerning the Holy Spirit, but there is much that can be known about Him when we study what is clearly revealed concerning him in scripture.

Daniel – From his youth through his life Daniel lived in a land far removed from Jerusalem and his home. Yet, he was faithful to God always. He rose to great power in the civil governments of the kings whom he served. This book contains profound prophecy concerning the coming of the Messianic kingdom, the church. This book deserves the attention of Christians.

Missions – this class will investigate the biblical motivations behind missions and the strategy behind the mission efforts of this congregation. During the course of the quarter members of the mission committee will share more in-depth information about each of the mission points currently supported by the Katy congregation and participants in the class will also be informed as to how they might become more involved with missions.

Learning Forgiveness from the Father – This class will explore the nature of God as it relates to forgiveness. We will study what God as done to make forgiveness possible, both old and new testaments, how we accept forgiveness and how forgiveness is to be lived out in our lives. Scripture will be studied and application discussed.

Christian Attitudes – Right behavior is so very important. However, if the attitude is not right, of what benefit is the right behavior? Attitudes determine the course of our lives. What are the attitudes necessary for the building of a strong Christian life?

Church History – While different in context, the challenges facing the church are essentially the same today as they have always been. This class will discuss heresies, historical figures and historical events as they challenged the faithfulness of the church and will examine the various influences from the European Reformation through the 19th century American Restoration that contributed to the church as it exists today.

Philippians and Colossians – This class will examine textual highlights from these letters from the apostle Paul to two of the first century churches.

Christian Stewardship – A study of what it means to be a steward, either good or bad. God has blessed us generously with physical blessings. How should we use these blessings? To impress upon our minds that we are richly blessed for our giving. As a Christian we need to understand our responsibility as a steward. God has given us great promises and assurances of His love for us if we seek first His righteousness.

Christian Parenting: Teens – In keeping with our desire to provide a Biblical environment for dealing with real life situations we will be talking about parenting of teen children in this class. Two fathers “with portfolio” will be leading this study which will no doubt include great discussion.

Decisions, So Many Decisions – Every choice we make have consequences. The choices that we make early in life have a profound impact on our future and eternity. This class looks at the good and bad decisions of Bible characters with the goal of finding valuable principles to guide us in the decision making process. It is intended for our college age/young adults.
