May 23 Christianity among other Worldviews
The class starts with a look at Christianity’s unique place among the major worldviews such as Theism, Naturalism, Pantheism, etc. From that level we will then consider general revelation, special revelation, and the unique authority of the Bible.
May 30 Genesis to Revelation
In this class we will move from the broad category of worldviews to focus on the story and message God reveals to humanity through the Bible from start to finish.
June 6 God
In this class we will move from the overall message of the Bible to its main character, God. We will consider how He has revealed Himself over time, including His character, His three-in-oneness, and His intentions toward us.
June 13 Jesus
In this class we will move from the Trinity to focus on Jesus, the Son of God. We will discuss His identity, His activity throughout history, and His character.
June 20 Humanity and Salvation
In this class we change focus from God to the object of God’s love, humanity. We will discuss what we are, our problem, and what God has done, is doing, and will do for us.
June 27 The Church
The Church consists of those who have received God’s loving kindness. In this class we will consider how we are called to live in response to God’s kindness. Topics include baptism, the Lord’s Supper, discipleship, and specific next steps for growing in relationship with God.
