Crusaders Class | 10:00-10:50 am | The Bride's Room
The Crusaders Class (senior women) is currently reading "Twelve Ordinary Men: How the Master Shaped His Disciples for Greatness and What He Wants to Do with You" by John MacArthur. Who were these men? They weren't saints. They weren't scholars. They weren't even religious sages. What is most amazing about the disciples is that Jesus even selected them at all. Among them - a handful of common fishermen, a hated tax collector, and an impulsive political zealot. In this study, we'll put ourselves in their shoes. We'll come to understand their doubts and hopes. And we'll hear the power of Jesus' words in a whole new way. The message is clear. If Christ can accomplish His purposes through the lives of common men like these, imagine what He has in store for us!

The Pathfinders | 10:00 to 10:55 am | Room 103
The Pathfinders (older adults; couples and singles) class mirrors church worship series themes with inspiration from authors like Max Lucado, Adam Hamilton, and Mike Slaughter. They are currently (January 19 - February 23) studying a series based on Matt Rawle's book, "Jesus Revealed."  

In "Jesus Revealed", author Matt Rawle explores the "I Am" statements found in the Book of John as works of art that resonate throughout the Gospel and all of Scripture. He shows how these words point beyond themselves to the deep mystery of Jesus Christ. Join the Pathfinders on this journey and experience the profound truth at the heart of the "I Am" statements: That Jesus is light and life, who calls us to himself and offers us the hope of resurrection.
