College Community
College-age • W-202

“The Greatest Story Ever Told” The narrative genre constitutes over 40% of the Bible (the largest), and also provides the unifying backbone and context for all the other books of the Bible. All of it either culminates in, or flows from the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, thus we can rightly describe the entirety of this grand story as the Gospel of God. Join us this spring as we explore the Biblical Narrative with the aim of reaching a fuller and deeper appreciation of what God has done for us! Teacher: Saeyoung Park. Team Leaders: Browns, Caroline Carlisle, Russells. CP: Mark Purser. SP: Benny Parks.

Sproul’s book and teaching series Chosen by God. Our study will include discussion of such topics as the Covenant of Redemption, the Church’s historic embrace of the doctrine and the effect of humanism, free will, and whether real assurance of salvation is possible apart from a right understanding of the relationship between Sovereign God and fallen people.

“The Epistle to the Hebrews” • The Epistle to the Hebrews presents the Christian life as a race that must be run with endurance, grounded in the final and sufficient work of Jesus Christ. In Him, we have an unshakeable security, but this does not give way to passivity. Hebrews warns that drifting, hardening the heart, and willful unbelief can lead to catastrophic loss, just as it was with Israel in the wilderness. But steadfast faith, even in the midst of suffering, leads to God’s promised rest. This letter urges us to “hold fast” to our confession, to draw near with confidence, and to fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith. Teacher: Wright Draper. Team Leaders: Bill Armistead, Doug Dickinson, Huffs, Whaleys, CP & SP: Wright Draper.

Each discipline will be examined through the lens of Scripture, identifying both abstention and engagement as key components of a life dedicated to growing in Christlikeness. Teacher: Ike Reeder.
