Sundays @ 10:45 AM

THE WORD FOR ALL AGES
Chapel | Dorene Royal
THE PARABLES: Studying the earthly stories that have a heavenly meaning.
Jesus spoke in “word pictures” over 30 times; His words probed the inner selves of the listeners. Will they probe ours? We'll look at the cultural setting, the development of the story, and how it is applied to the heart of anyone who hears it. And....how can we use this divine method to share our faith with others?

PATHWAYS
Mezzanine 1 | Richard Cooke
Faith is far more than a belief system; it infuses all parts of life. Our faith is seen in the way we live our day-to-day lives: what we do, what we talk about, and how we respond to circumstances. God's Word, the Bible, has an answer for every situation we face. Join us each week for exciting topics and subjects, lively discussions, group participation, and a powerful prayer time with great people. Our goal and desire is to help you discover God's direction for your life!
All adult ages welcome.

GOOD NEWS
Family Life Center Room 104 | Esther Haas
Studying the characters in Exodus unlocks the profound lessons and rich narratives of one of the Bible’s most pivotal books! This transformative journey takes you through the lives of iconic figures such as Moses, the fearless leader who defied Pharaoh; Aaron, the devoted brother and spokesperson; and Miriam, the prophetic sister whose celebration song echoes through history. Dive deep into their stories to uncover timeless leadership, faith, and resilience principles. Explore the dramatic moments of liberation, the struggles of wandering, and the divine guidance that shaped a nation.

LIFE IN THE WORD
Family Life Center Room 118 | Mike and Charlotte Fiddelke
If you are looking for a Sunday School class that offers Bible study, lively group discussion, in-home socials, and friendship that moves past the superficial, this may be the class for you. This fall, we will study the book of Proverbs. We aim to grow spiritually and make a difference for Christ in our sphere of influence. If you think Bible study is tedious, we invite you to visit us and find out how relevant and exciting God's Word is. All ages welcome.

SCRIPTURAL ENRICHMENT
Family Life Center Room 116 | Dr. Michael VanDoren
This class offers in-depth Bible instruction from a former SEU professor, everyday life application, and creative discussion. Our class is friendly; we believe in supporting, encouraging, and praying for one another. Join us as we study the book of Revelation each Sunday. Additionally, you will be kept updated with newsletters and an e-blast.
