The Bible is so old and we don't have the original copy so how can I trust the Bible in my hands? That's a good question and one that needs some answers. Another good question is: "There are so many different religions in the world and they say their sacred texts are true, too... what does this mean about the Bible?" And what if science seems to tell us that the Bible isn't accurate? What if science seems to tell us that the Bible was written only by humans and therefore outdated and full of errors? It is these questions that we will engage with this seminar.
I have spent many hours on my own and in my ministry engaging and researching these questions and others. Not because I love the library, but because these are the questions I am asking and these are the questions the college students in my ministry are asking. Join us in this seminar as we look at how and why the Bible is trustworthy. We'll engage how we can know historical events really happened, how your Bible came to be, and talk about the most common objections to the Bible as a trustworthy, accurate, faith-forming document. Bring your own questions, too!  

Beyoncé says girls run the world, and I’ve also heard that girls just want to have fun. I wonder what God thinks about women? Does He value us? Does He want us to be strong? Would Wonder Woman and Jesus have gotten along? In a time of marches and movements, let’s discover what Scripture says about God’s view of women.

No, that’s not a typo; it’s the actual title of the class. For years human beings have pondered the question, “Is there life after death?” Christians have said yes but have sometimes oversimplified it by saying, “Believers go to heaven; non-believers go to hell. End of story.” Is that really the end of the story? Could it be that the Bible teaches us there’s more? Could it be that there is a life after life after death? The answer is yes! The resurrection wasn’t just a really cool miracle that Jesus performed on himself. It was actually the beginning of a revolution. It was the deep magic, as C.S. Lewis said, that would cause death itself to start working in reverse. It is the promise of a hope that we hold fast to—a hope that one day Jesus will come back and bring heaven with him, down to earth, where we will live in the light of his glory and in the wake of his resurrection forever and ever. If this is true, then oh man, do we have a lot to look forward to! And I’m sure you have a lot of questions. I do too…so let’s talk about it.  

I can remember in high school sincerely wanting to read my Bible. I had decided it was time to start, no more excuses. I sat down to read and within five minutes was overwhelmed with all the words, words, words. If you can relate to this experience then this class is for you. I will give you a simple and enjoyable way to study the Bible. I will show you how you can study on your own or with some friends. I hope to see you and help you get started on a lifetime of enjoying the Word of God.

Growth in Grace: How God Works in Pain

The sovereignty of God - is it possible that this doctrine could lead to a greater, deeper and more abiding joy? It may seem a little more natural to say God reigns in the sweet moments of life, but what happens when we don’t get into the school that all our friends do, or when our parents get divorced, or when our best friend is a superior athlete, or when we struggle with body image issues, or when we get a cancer diagnosis or we move to a new town?  Is it possible for us to praise God in the sweet moments of life as well as the moments it feels like He is slaying us?  This beautiful doctrine teaches us our sovereign God is in love with us, is for us and is calling us to trust Him.  God is using every moment in our lives to bring us near to Him.  God’s sovereignty enables us to not lose heart as we trust in His guiding, sustaining, loving and all-sufficient hand.  We are in the grip of the loving Father and He will never let us go!
