Finding Your Way in the Wildnerness

Teacher: Michael Hall

While there is certainly a lot to learn in the great outdoors, this class isn't primarily concerned with finding your way home if you get lost in the woods! While some of us have known the wilderness as a real place with various challenges and difficulties, we all experience “the wilderness” in the challenging and difficult seasons of our lives. When we are “in the wilderness” we find ourselves feeling out of control (I can’t seem to do anything to change things! I can’t fix this!), without clarity (Why is this even happening? How did I get here?), and also feeling a lack of consequence (Where is this going? What’s going to happen next?). Come to this class and hear how God meets His people “in the wilderness” and fills them with Himself...offering peace under His control, comfort amidst tons of questions, and courage to press on knowing He is with you. Life is hard y’all...God wants you to know that He get’s it and to experience Him right in the middle of all of it.

Friend or Foe? Exploring the Beauty and Brokenness of Relationships in the Real World

Teacher: Matthew Icard

News flash — relationships are hard! Just think about it. We’ve all been really hurt by people that we really trusted. We’ve all felt lonely, forgotten, or betrayed. We’ve all looked for approval and acceptance only to find resentment and rejection. We’ve all struggled with anger, jealousy, and bitterness, and we’ve all been slow to extend forgiveness. So why does this happen? I mean, why are our relationships at home, at school, and at church so frustrating and sometimes just so downright ugly? In this elective, we’re going to talk about the realities of living life alongside other people in a messy, fallen world. We’re going to look at the good and the bad and learn that the gospel brings real hope, real life, and real freedom to all our relationships (even the hard ones).

Idolators Anonymous

Teacher: Ben Griffith

We are all idolators. You may not worship a little statue on your bookshelf every night (if you do, we need to talk), but chances are there's a goal, a person, a desire, or something else that has taken on god-like proportions in your life. Idols are good things or bad things that we turn into ultimate things; they're "counterfeit gods." We're very good at making them, and they're very good at ruining us. A Christian writer once said, "the secret to change is to identify and dismantle the counterfeit gods of your heart." Join us as we discover how true this is, and how the Gospel is good news for idolators.
